So the Yooks and the Zooks stared across the wall
Both threatening the other, trying their best to stand tall
And both the Yooks and the Zooks threatened to drop the ball
To see who would prevail once and for all
As the citizens stood by and watched the horrific scene
They wondered who would back down, and who would be mean
"Who will drop the bomb and settle the feud
Between the Yooks and the Zooks about buttered food?"
I watched and anticipated a loud booming sound
I covered my ears and looked all around
Waiting for a bomb to destroy the whole town
Of the evil Zooks who eat bread with the butter side down
Just as Grandpa went to set off the bomb,
He paused for a second and began to look calm.
"Why," he asked, "must we continue this fight?
We should all be friends and sing through the night
About how we nicely solved this great problem
About butter on top vs. butter on the bottom."
So the people on both sides of the wall cheered
As they embraced kindness instead of fear
The people of the town broke down the wall
To settle this quarrel once and for all
So from that day on the Yooks and the Zooks
Were friends and never had to settle another dispute
Because all that was present was kindness and glee
No matter on what side the butter may be.
Great work!
