An American Fantasy

~ An American Fantasy ~ After the BIG meeting, the donkeys went to meet the press What? No microphones? Where were they? -- anyone's guess The elephants followed and seemed confused Perhaps the equipment blew a fuse So they all went back, talked civilly for a while Decided to give collaboration a trial When they met again, they even compromised No microphones, no problem ~ a welcome surprise ___________________________________________________ Note: In case politics does has not yet consumed you: Donkeys are the mascot of the Democratic party in the USA. Elephants are the mascot of the Republicans. (Pretty weird, eh?).

Great comparison mules and elephants - a wise write. Hugs and blessings Gershon, Jennifer.

Yes, we mustn't 'burro' our heads in the sand.

And both are "as stubborn as a mule" and like an elephant "forget nothing'...Nice bit of hopeful humor here Gershon.

Thanks for the appreciation on this one, John. Here's to some better animals some day...
