A TOSS UP

Shall I compare thee to an elephant?
Of course not, you’re a motor car.
And if I put you in the zoo,
No-one would come and look at you.
You do more harm than him I fear,
For you pollute the atmosphere.
Though he blows methane in the air,
His carbon footprint can’t compare
To the ozone damage that you do,
With noxious gasses passing through.
But still you’ll be the choice for me.
You’re quicker between A and B

Bryn, this kicked off my day with a great big smile ! I am still smiling imagining the caged automobile and the garaged pachyderm. Congrats on being the winner of a well judged contest.

I can't believe there are no comments, this needs to be read, it is delightful, just the right amount of silly talentedly penned to entertain the reader. You deserve your first-place win, and I'm delighted to be the first to tell you so! I don't recognize your name, perhaps your new to Soup, if so, WELCOME & memory permitting, I'll visit again. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
