My Elephant

That's not my Elephant My Elephant is mint She will not be found under any tent You see she has all the right accents Hope your hungry and ready Me and my Elephant love our Ma's spaghetti Please excuse, she will slurp and burp An I garantee her plate will be cleaned first Ma calls her Ella for short But dont even think it, my Ella Will not be caught wearing a skirt Or dress of any sort. As for more of her favorites We mention how she loves to visit "Hers" as she calls them Her second graders This week in school The bright lights Of the teachers sights Are set on the Bill of Rights Ella enjoys to listen and learn Shes a firm believer Some day soon it might be her turn To teach some little Ellas Their rights as Elephants Of the United States Of America written for Matt Caliri contest "That's not my Elephent"
