Gone Too Far

That’s not my elephant, officer, though she is pink. She is right in front of your vehicle sir, I think. Not too big, but not too small, her name is Ella. I would say she likes to carry her pink umbrella. I bet those second graders can see her just fine. Yes, officer, I bet that they never drank any wine. So to say, she is not there, will start some fights. So remember that my faith is in the bill of rights. She dances so fine around, around over the lot. Upon tips of her toes, she cannot smoke pot. However, she can eat spaghetti, with meatballs hot, She loves to slurp, and swing the noodles in trot. Don’t you see her now, over on top of that car? Well, sir, you’re under arrest, you’ve gone too far. Written for Sponsor Matt Caliri Contest Name That's Not My Elephant

This is the first entry I've read for this new contest, Cecil, and I just love the way you interacted with the police officer. Had big smiles reading this and I wish you success in the contest and a very merry Christmas! Thanks for your kind comments, too. Love, Carolyn
