A new ending to Shel Silverstein's 'Unicorn'

The Lord had pity on the Unicorn,

A kickin’ and a splashin’, the good Lord then said,

"From now on grace the oceans,” and that’s why you’ll see

Narwhales in open waters to this very day.



Not traditional, yet I heard another version with an ending about magic--that was never mentioned in Shel's version.  Driving home, running the original verses through my head, I came up with something more 'biblical'. If you think the original needs anything, you may use this as an ending.  Personally, I like the song as it was written.

Music with lyrics—the fluid version of a Short Story.
