Novel and Song

Novel and Song were very different,
Like bird and fish, like fire and ice.
Novel did not recognize empty beauties,
And Song, on contrary, was looking for beauty.

Once Novel and Song met on the road
And began to argue which of them is better.
Song sang: "I am better than any words,
I express beauty in the most wonderful forms!"

Novel answered: "I am better than any verses,
I convey the meaning, we are logical in words!"

Song smiled and said in response:
"I also convey meaning, just in different form!"

Novel nodded, and they walked together,
Along the way, helping each other.
Song adorned Novel, gave it beauty,
And Novel helped Song convey essence.

So Novel and Song finally understood,
That each of them is great in its way.
And we don't need to measure them,
Like two different miracles,
Let them be together and complement each other.
