I asked the Zebra,
are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on and on and on he went.
I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes...again.
― Shel Silverstein
My granddaughter did not like the angle of this shot, but the zebra didn't seem inclined to turn around and face the camera...
(Your quoted rhyme reminded me of another philosophical quotation: "Unicorns do not exist; they only think they do!")
