SPHINX

Sphinx is a poem for big and little children. It is about the other mythical sphinx rather than the one in Egypt.

Sphinx

 

If ever you meet one then never forget, 

A sphinx is like no other creature you've met.

It isn't a lion astray from its pride.

It isn't a bird, though it's wings open wide.

It isn't a human, but smiles from a face

That's more human than all in the whole human race.

A sphinx cannot speak, and instead makes a sound,

Like the purr of a cat, from which soft words abound. 

A sphinx sometimes climbs in a basket to rest, 

But a branch in the treetops is where it sleeps best.

A sphinx enjoys cuddles, a toy and a treat, 

And at bedtime will fight the great fight with your feet.

A sphinx, like a cat or a dog, is your friend,

That will love you no matter, through day and nights end.
