The Stork and the Warhorse

The stork and the warhorse

In concert, are not

The war horse is charging

The bird wouldn’t be caught

Rushing off into battle

As it flies to its nest

To attend to its kin

And to feed and to rest

But the war horse is charging

To what end it’s not clear

As it rushes forth boldly

Postponing its fear

Serving its rider

Until its release

The war horse is charging

To preserve the stork’s peace
