Elephant

That's not my elephant I am sure
My elephant's much more grey
I know cause Ella told me
the words I had to say

She laughed at my spaghetti
and chuckled at my loss
I'm sure I'll find my elephant
consulting with my boss

A second grader told me
to go and see the sights
I never once imagined
I'd read the bill of rights

but back to the beginning
I'm not sure I was right
it could be that I got it wrong
with elephants first sight

In fact I'm sure that it is mine
It looks like the right grey
so I think that I will leave
and take my elephant away
