Once Upon a Elephant

They're not to happy about the ivory situation...

Once upon a Elephant

 

I saw an elephant -

sitting on my gazebo in my backyard

she waved her trunk and hooted for me

to sit beside her~

 

Now to be sure-

I was flummoxed and bemused

amused and mildly confused---

to see her sipping tea~

while patiently waiting

to discuss my spirituality

with the likes of me-

 

As you can see-

I was humbled as well as~

slightly terrified---

that the Great White Elephant

that resided in the faintly

touched corners of my imagination-

would show herself---

in all her splendor and render

her glorious enlightenment upon ~

a disillusioned old coot

with an un-tuned and slightly used fiddle and flute.
