Elephants - Two Limericks

1. An irascibelephant whom no-one could trust Had a whim to run amok, or bust! Though roundly condemned by his peers as a skunk, From interception they’d cowardly shrunk, Saying simply, “Old boy, if you musth, then you musth!” 2. Elephants have as a favourite pursuit A fondness for tasty doum palm fruit, Though when of this delight they are sated, The tuskers can become quite inebriated, And stagger home in enormous wobbly-boots!
