They saw each other everyday
Never talked and never cared.
One with hair as grey as lead
The other’s, fiery red
They played on the frozen pond every afternoon
It was so quiet you could hear the animals croon.
One day things went wrong
The grey one had just hit a ****
He slipped and fell
He broke right through the icy shell
The red one watched as the grey yelped,
He would not help
The red one had the same color on his hands that he had on his head
For the grey one now is dead
