If I Were An Elephant
Oh, if I were an elephant
I sure would march around and rant
with loud and deep instructive roar
demanding mostly to implore
my fellow elephants to find...
for matriarchs and males combined,
some ways to camouflage our prize
and make them dull to human eyes.
Though we are dark, our tusks are white;
stand out in leafage day and night.
For them, we're martyred every day.
Perhaps there is a better way?
When good men tag our floppy ears,
they could then calm our deepest fears...
and paint our tusks a camo green
so through the brush cannot be seen.
