Eek


We don’t care what the safety advice is
We elephants help out in a crisis
In a South Asian scare
Elephants will be there
But you’re all on your own if there’s mices

G'day Terry ... we have mice everywhere in our house to keep the elephants away. So far it's working - thank you Terry - Lindsay

Here in Britain, they seem to work against crocodiles too. Cheers, Lindsay. Terry

Brilliant Terry…. Who will help us out when in a crisis - If even elephants can't face mice's - Purrfect answer to that - Round up a group of cats - To them small mice's are their best nice's…… Belle

Thanks, Belle. One of those simple looking limericks that took an age to get right. By and large I’d say only ‘elephant’ and ‘mices’ were in the first draft. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Lol, amazing when you think about it, the size of an elephant compared to teeny Mickey mouse. Mind you South East Australia is overrun with the little buggers, they climb across ceilings and drop on the beds, yuck. Tom
