My Elephant Herd

I need to win the Powerball For my house is getting small It's not exactly what I prefer It's just the size of my elephant herd Ceramic, glass, plaster and wood Plush, wax, cloth and plastic The number of my herd is fantastic My pachyderm collecting is understood At first it wasn't about me I enjoyed the symbol of the GOP But slowly, but surely there became a need So gathering elephants became a happy deed Family and friends send them to me And I delight in their generous deed Birthdays, Holidays any occasion I accept pachyderms of all persuasions Pictures, carvings, pillows and dolls Statues, figures, candles and canes Brooches, clocks, elephants of anything Can't stop at one so I get them all My elephants are happy, some are sad But I never met an elephant that was bad Trunks up for good luck make me glad Small elephants, large elephants more to add My house was once room enough for me But my pachyderm's population now exceeds To say my space has been disturbed No, I just need a larger house for my elephant herd
