Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Jumbo the Elephant

Does anyone know how Jumbo The Elephant died?
Hit by a freight train, succumbed quickly, no dry eyes
Poor thing had no chance
His soul made a ghost dance
People around reacted with sadness, quietly cried

Judith S January 15, 2018 at 7:48 PM Awwwhhhh... that's so sad. You know ... most childhood tales were tragic. I don't remember how Dumbo died ... but Bambi was very traumatic for me!! Maybe that's why everyone loves deer :) Jack Ellison January 15, 2018 at 8:02 PM They seem like the gentlest of animals!!! Awww! xxx
