Elephant In the Room
- by - Bob Atkinson
of the African and Asian kind
we see them in the room
how they got here is a puzzle
as we fly from idea to word
they do not make us sit upright
what they do is make us lay
upon the beds that we have made
with our unsubstantiated ways
their purpose is to prod our minds
make us do things more rightly
our thoughts and actions become clearer
as they supervise our path harshly
elephants can be ponderous
or they can tweek our brains
and give us more reasons to present
our own erudite refrains
then they go on their way
leaving our minds a little sharper
in presenting our thoughts to others
and seeing things a little cleaner
isn't that they are so obvious
you'd never know they're here
unless you're given a "U"
oh no...
for thoughts you made unclear
now that the lights are nearly out
and the door is open wide
the path toward perfection has been lighted by our guide edited by Bob_Atkinson on 4/30/2023
