Po-Mo Remix

That's not MY elephant! A spiteful conceited elephant that ran away from the circus MY elephant provides copies of the Bill Of Rights to all 2nd graders in Macon County Considers fund-raising possibilities of selling elephant ears at Zippy Zoo Days The kids will bring their white elephants and we will do a Spaghetti Feed At RATS youth ministry--Can a mouse lift an elephant? If you want to move a heavy load you have to use force Where would you push? For this lesson students used a triangular piece of wood One side labeled Rights the other Responsibilities Drop a marble in the balance (They used a 10lb. sack of potatoes) Its all educational But Barbar--You wouldn't catch THAT elephant playing jazz on his trunk Not that elephant jazz in Austin Jazz de Chang (elephant in Thai) Playing with pink noise and changing the recipe spaghetti Too hot for a drumstep (bootleg) from the Elephant House While Ella singing When I See Elephants Fly gazes over Matisse The Nightmare of the White Elephant from the jazz series Hanging over the elephant jazz bar nu dark swing dubbles Ella and Wave for singers a Nightmare autographed Artie Shaw And the poet on each finger has the following written Somebody Wanted But So Then says Clustering thats the way To do it says Glue the stick to the hand--Fulcrum And then gives all the brats rides on an elephant named Bubbles!
