The story of Polka dot and Stripe

There once were two puppets named Polka dot and Stripe;
everything they did, they did just alike.

They laughed, they played, and they had a good time,
one never leaving the other behind.

Then one day down by the creek,
they looked in the water just for a peek.

“Look at your face; it’s different from mine.
Has it been that way all of this time?”

Stripe could not believe his eyes;
the sight of his friend he now despised.

Polka dot felt just the same way;
he looked at his friend and then ran away.
Now they fought to stake their claim
of only things that looked the same.

Separate but equal, that’s how they lived;
nothing to take, and nothing to give.

How sad and lonely they both became
as if still controlled by a mutual brain.

Early one morning Stripe took a walk,
when he bumped into Polka dot.

Stripe wanted to talk, but had nothing to say;
Polka Dot ran but could not get away.

This was all part of a plan;
they were both joined by the same hand.

The puppets hung from different strings,
but they were controlled by the same means.

The same is true for the human race.
we may look different …but we came from the same place.
