Elephant and Chimpanzee

Elephant built his own fly away escape
Hot air balloon that most cannot readily make.
The chimpanzee watched him carefully that day
Grabbed on to the bottom and swung along on his way

The elephant was traveling at a tremendous speed
We are having such a great time! Said the chimpanzee, Feed.
They escaped from the circus compound and never went back.
Loving every minute as they traveled past every rail track.

They floated through Michigan, onto Kalamazoo.
They are so high! And so daring! Said a turtle named Boo.
Boo usually could not see a hot air balloon, but he was stuck on his back.
I wish I could go with them he said wistfully; his name was Mack.
