Packing Up Her Trunk
In Argentina, Mara
Lived a sad and lonely life,
Crowded with unfriendly roommates,
Twenty years of constant strife.
She’s an elephant from Asia
Who was stuck inside a zoo
But the powers-that-be decided
There was something they could do.
So they took her on a road trip,
Days and many miles away,
To a sanctuary in Brazil
Where she could safely stay.
Now she’s found a friend in Rana
And they’ve formed a touching bond.
It’s a tale like Cinderella,
Altered by a magic wand.
In the midst of a pandemic
It’s uplifting just to hear
Of the type of happy ending
That I feared would disappear.
