Every bad has some good in it
like silver line round the cloud
a bad isn't bad every bit
has something to make feel proud.
One night on a rainy day
out on my aimless roam
saw a koi that lost its way
caught it and brought it home.
In a bucket it lived two years
no way I would ever regret that
had I on that day chosen to stay clear
it would have been taken by a cat.
Once she bought a bird cheap
back home we soon found out
surely it wasn't a prized keep
was lame in one leg no doubt.
But be sure we chose not at all a wrong
the foot though not cured healed a lot
the budgie would not have lasted long
had its lameness prevented to be bought.
