Me the Wild Elephant
Me The Wild Elephant
Being the wild Elephant
I could be too elegant
like JUMBO, huge, big, massive,
glamorous and attractive.
My idol would be JUMBO
Performer of circus show.
Most popular with children.
Once in Britain zoo garden.
American Barnam bought
for his circus show and brought
to New Year with grandeur,
Top Box-Office to assure.
Which is large, big or massive
got ‘Jumbo’ as adjective.
Jumbo tie or Jumbo belt
Jumbo bus or Jumbo jet.
In the Nineteenth Century,
The Oxford dictionary
Selected ‘jumbo’ as word,
as accepted by whole world.
To mean huge cum gorgeous.
Elephant became famous.
Prince of Wales, as just a kid,
enjoyed his Jumbo-ride.
Jumbo-ride to entertain
for one million children
in his circus-career:
Jubilant Jumbo carrier.
Walking style was majestic,
spectacular, fantastic.
Jumbo received toffee-sweets,
Greeting cards and other gifts.
Joy, fun, so sensational,
only for this animal.
I must follow his nice style
to gain that exact profile.
Huge structure with nice skill,
Wishes of children to fulfil,
Might kind Nature give and grant,
Me to turn sophisticated Elephant.
