A Verse of Obscure Meaning

The elephant in the room The elephant in the room reclined, comfortably, on the couch; Trunk curled and tail curled, an engaging feather boa Draped gracefully about the shoulders, and a Slightly crushed tutu contrast to the Holmesian Meerschaum pipe creating a modest smoke screen To obscure the real intent of meeting. At either end of the unspoken beast an erudite Philosopher sits, eager to pontificate with wisdom And make observation with subjective insight into the Purport and meaning of their world view, somewhat As viewing obverse and converse of common coin, Heads and tails, yin and yang, truth and falsehood. And the forward of the philosophers observes that The rare trumpeting signifies a gracious engagement With the common world. Be-times, the more nether Philosopher opines that the world seems somehow Indifferent to the wants and needs of the rear; Indeed they are shat upon, in the common vernacular. And those, at the bottom end of the world, un-impressed By tutu, or elegant spirals of fragrant smoke, ask why? Elephant-in-the-Room, why? What is your intent, And why do you dangle the lure of engagement, Yet like the infuriating fisherman who teases the trout, Never commit to the eternal chase?
