Nothing Like an Elephant
nothing has come or soon has went
to ever top an elephant
she is a dedicated half
to her precious little calf
nothing’s as mad or ever will be
as an angry elephant mommy
charging wildly and trumpeting loud
defending the baby of which she is proud
nothing’s as sad as a shot that is fired
over a jumbo, a father has sired
kill the dad and take the baby
don’t forget to get the ivory
nothing’s as royal as this regal beast
on which the poachers greedily feast
true king and queen of the wilderness
with gracefulness and real finesse.
