30th Anniversary

I've counted up to 30.

Can you figure that one out?

A bearded horse ate a feathered tiger

before he finished his fire-grilled trout.

The horse then broke his plate in anger

and the monkeys called out, 'Danger! Danger!'

The beast then laid down for a nap,

but he never woke again.

Because, the owls fed the tiger poisoned radishes

when they found out about the horse's plan.

The community was devastated;

left in awe and disarray.

The event was cemented in history

on that cold and rainy day.
