The Elephant and Mouse

The Elephant and Mouse Way back a long, long time ago, when mouse and ‘phant were new They thought that their relationship would always ring true blue But the mouse one day got randy and the elephant was handy And don’t you know, a rape did soon ensue Though small, the mouse was mighty, the elephant a wee bit flighty And when the deed was over, the mouse still felt the same But the elephant was fearful; felt nothing but the shame And so you know the two of them then went their separate way They grew apart in mind and body and thus they are today And though it’s been 4000 years, the feeling is there yet For as you know, or so they say, a ‘phant does not forget And so today an elephant encountering a mouse Recoils in fear and loathing of the little louse Mdailey 9/8/12
