Master Crow, perched in a tree, Clutched cheese inside his beak. Master Fox, below, observed the sight, And to the bird did speak.
“Master Crow, good day to you. You’re such a gallant fowl. More radiant than the Phoenix flame, You’re wiser than the owl”
“Please share with me, kind fellow The view from your high perch. You have a broader vision Than here below the birch.”
These words caused such tremendous joy; The crow commenced to speak. But tumbled out the cherished cheese He clutched within his beak.
Fox darted on the ground below To confiscate his prize He hoodwinked from his friend on high By spouting lofty lies.
Like my poems, The Grasshopper and the Ant and Repurcussions, this poem was written for a collection of ELA emergency lesson plans called A Likely Story. I think I need to adapt more fables; I the time I spent doing that.
Words are all I have; please give them life by sharing.
Hey there! I'm K.L. McDaniel, an introverted extrovert who's into fitness with a bit of a twist and always shuffling through life's organized clutter. Here at TheOtherKLM, I dive into everything that makes us tick—from the quiet corners of introverted minds to the sweat and joy of staying active, all while keeping our mental game strong.
I'm all about contradictions that somehow make perfect sense. Think of me as your go-to for exploring how to learn endlessly, live healthily, and think deeply, all without losing our collective minds. It's not just about fitness or learning; it's about finding balance in the chaos and connecting in the most unexpected ways.
So, if you're into making sense of life's beautiful mess with me, stick around. We're in for a journey of learning, laughing, and maybe a bit of dancing... metaphorically speaking, of course.
