If I Were An Elephant

If I were an elephant I would stomp out all the bad There would be no evil And everyone would be glad I would take my trunk And flail it all around I would make everyone laugh Only happiness to be found I would give people rides Anywhere they want to go If they are ok with going slow I would make everyone feel so young Because I have all the wrinkles No more worries, just songs to be sung If I were an elephant There would be no need to fuss I will entertain you daily Just don’t put me in a circus!

This was cute Heidi but you're not an elephant and you already do all of those things in a human-like way. :) Fun to read my friend. Good luck, I hope you win.
