Ella and Her Elephant

That's not my elephant! My elephant has small ears And I've had my elephant now For years and years and years. He likes to eat spaghetti And follows me to school. All the other second graders Think he is something cool. Someone stole my elephant And left this one instead. I know he's not my elephant There's large ears on his head. I need to call the F.B.I. I need to call my dad. According to the bill of rights I don't have to be sad Maybe the zoo has my elephant And took him by mistake. This is a friendly elephant But I know that he's a fake. It's been Ella and her elephant For years and years and years And I know that's not my elephant, My elephant has small ears.

I like the way you wrote your entry from a second grader's perspective, Francine. Get the FBI on the case -- a small-eared elephant BOLO needs to go out. Rest assured he will be found. LOL Best wishes for success with this witty write. Love, Carolyn
