Elephants Memory

I am an elephant or Republican I think After a couple of drinks If memory serves me I'm pink When not frolicking on the savanna Pushing down trees for a snack I work in a circus act This place smells like a zoo I'm getting too old and put on some pounds It is hard to climb trees these days Or ladders to success Pole vaulting is out of the question Circus food sucks They say you are what you eat I must be very tiny from the stuff that they feed me Peanuts are very nutritious but small My keepers want to keep me lean They think that I'm stupid and make fun of my feet If they are small than something else must be small Accusing me of peeing myself on stage is the last straw They say my brain is the size of the food that I eat also I'm sick of them too Vegetables and fruits are delirious…. or is it delicious I forget how I got in this circus zoo mess Why do I have a big E on the pajamas Perhaps to identify me while in bed Or to avoid common confusion with them I know you think that I wrote it myself But my feet are too large for that Someone must have printed it A political party perhaps If you ask me what I think The elephant in the room not called Trump is me

Cute poem. We are finding out the true colors of the GOP. They are not for We the People. SuZ
