The Faun and the Horse

At the meeting of the myths, they talked on,

Of everything from mortal to divine,

And of all things unpleasant to sublime.

This continued until just before dawn.

The faun came to a startling conclusion.

It caused great unease and much confusion,

For the horse did not concur with the faun.

The horse and faun were in disagreement,

Which made for a battle so vehement,

That it came to fisticuffs on the lawn.

At the end of this ridiculous fight,

The horse decided the faun was right.

He tried to patch it up, but the faun was gone.

He had flown away forever and a day,

On the back of a flapping bird of prey.

What had they warred about and who had won?

They fought over the faun’s crazy notion,

That he must wed a mermaid from the ocean,

Or else live his life lonely and forlorn.

The horse said the idea was absurd and all wrong,

And would surely wreak havoc before long,

That’s when the war broke out, as I have shown.

The other legend should’ve butted out,

Of the poor faun’s love life without a doubt.

If he had, away the faun wouldn’t have flown.

So let this serve as a moral lesson,

In other’s business don’t you be messin',

Unless you want to be friendless and alone.
