49. Stripes [100 poems challenge]

49.          Stripes

The African zebra is such a strange sight,
But key information I lack:
I wonder if it’s coloured black stripes on white,
Or rather as white stripes on black?

7 June 2013

Comments: I’m fairly sure this kind of thing has been done before by somebody else … and probably better. And, should you be wondering, apparently — and possibly surprisingly — they are white stripes on black. Wikipedia said so; therefore it must be true.

Themes to come: 50. Breaking the Rules; 51. Sport; 52. Deep in Thought; 53. Keeping a Secret; 54. Tower
