Elephant's Lament

Written at around 1am so I'm extremely sorry for any mistakes, or just plain crappy quality! Anyway, comment rate and review!

We'll tip toe 'round the subject

Like an elephant in a dress-

It'll bound around quite easily

and doesn't make a slice of sense

But you'll keep asking questions

Which are seemingly obscure-

And I'll just keep wondering

and staring at the floor.

I'll take in your slurs of language

And you'll take in my pleas-

But we both know it won't happen 

until I beg down on my knees

And that's the real issue

Which you're ready to avoid

It's a question of morality-

To try and clear the void.

So I'll sit here quite patient

And you'll interrogate me 

Like an elephant in a tutu

You're all the same you see.

For the sadness in this piece I can't help but smile at the clever way it is written. The absurdness of the elephant in the tutu is equal to that of the mind games played buy some and suffered by others. Excellent.
