The Puzzle 20

THE FERNS

There was a resounding feud 

in a certain mountain’s foot.

It was a two fern’s dispute. 

They were clashing in a wood.


One of them said: “ You are small

I’ am different. I’ am tall.”


Than the other said angrily:

“Your words are shocking me, really,

because you, even in hills,

even gulping hundred pills,

are much smaller than I, so

I am big, but you are low.” 


The answer was quick and laud:

“What are you talking about ?

You are smaller, I can bet,

even in a large top hat,

‘coz I am two meters tall !”


“You are taller ?! Not at all ! 

I can tell you: Stop ! Enough !

Your words are causing to laugh !”


Then, probably from the sky,

the voice said to the ferns: “Hi.

Please, excuse me, but your tiff,

will be finished in a jiff,

when you find out that my height,

from the left and the right side,

is, in meters, all my life,

six hundred and forty five.”


Shocked ferns asked: ”How many ?!!!”

and any of them, any !,

made a very silly face,

hid in a concealed place,

and from there, each of the two,

asked a stranger: “Who are you ?

Tell us, please. We want to learn.” 


“ So … My name is The Mount Fern.”
