A Balancing Act

A walrus and stork on the head of a pin
One is salvation, the other is sin
The walrus has tusks and the stork has long legs
The walrus demands but the stork only begs
The walrus is tough, but the stork brings a child
The stork is self-conscious, the walrus is wild
The walrus can’t dance, he’s too dreadfully fat
The stork cannot sing, he’s too bashful for that
The two of them balance; they don’t move an inch
The pin would soon topple if either one flinched
They chat and they daydream, they giggle and grin
They’re best friends forever, salvation and sin.
