My Elephant Is Like Me
That's not my elephant
for my elephant is
like me!
it takes only
rice and dal
and never looks at
spaghetti!
That's not my elephant
though Ella claims it
to be-
for my elephant
can sing and dance
and even writes
poetry!
That's not my elephant
for when the 2nd graders
came to see-
my elephant greeted them
and gave a speech on
morality!
That's not my elephant
I can tell you clearly-
she never fights for the
bill of rights
as she knows
it will anger me!
My request to all of you
send your elephants soon
to me-
my elephant will teach them
how to write a
poetry!
