Apathetic Animal

I once saw an emerald elephant,
but it turned to be untrue.
It was really a silly sycophant
who made me go “Achoo!”.

 

It sat kissing my furry feet
while saying “Bless You!”,
but I saw through the moldy meat
as it’s head never had a clue.

 

I played it’s greedy game
while having the simple chat.
It thought it was getting ferly fame,
but I knew better than that.

 

I took the phone calling a zany zoo,
and there went the poor sycophant.
So sad that it went so bitterly blue,
but I liked it better as an elephant.
