If I Were An Elephant

If I were an elephant, I'd lumber around Gracefully plodding on my stomping ground If I were an elephant, I'd flap my ears High above the savannah with no equals or peers If I were an elephant, I'd cover myself in mud I'd clash with other bulls, especially during rut If I were an elephant, I'd cause a great stampede Crushing all the poachers before they could succeed If I were an elephant, I'd collapse all circus tents And I'd save all pachyderms from being in such events I wouldn't be arrogant, but elegant and eloquent I wouldn't be petulant, but prevalently excellent I wouldn't be negligent or hesitant or feculent I'd be so affectionate and have an even temperament I'd be the most eminent in my thought development I'd never be a detriment to a human settlement I would be the most intelligent and it would be self-evident To the peasant and the president if I were an elephant 12-5-2016
