Loxodonta reduced

Loxodonta reduced There are no big elephants anymore near where I live you might have one or two on the savannah, but the new modern elephants are much smaller nature made them smaller to avoid the big white hunter the overly masculine type who has mistresses concealed but not too hidden, because if no one knows why bother? The smaller elephant has yet to get a proper name like Loxodonta Africana has tiny tusks, not bigger than bull's horn, feet too tiny to be made into an umbrella holder, but it has adorable eyes, smooth skin, and smells like a perfume shop. Why should I care for the well-being, when so many like in Gaza have bombs thrown at them, killing children as many as ten thousand who are not old enough to hate the dastardly tribe who have a hatred for any one not like them The Palestinians could have done as the tiny elephant be docile to those who destroy their homes, look picturesque when standing by the road begging for food But no, they insist on getting their land back and as a result of this stubborn attitude, in a way they only have themselves to blame
