Elephant

i like elephants you see
because they like me
their memories are long term
for our friends the pachyderm

mighty just and free
symbol of the GOP
strong with skin so thick
hard body built like brick

pink or white in shades of grey
with love of family they stay
uplifted trunks good fortunes for all
two types of ears big or small

tails so short and thin
large from Africa smaller are Indian
with tusk of ivory so diligent
big is big our friend elephant
