An elephant who was a sweet dude
Lived far from a big city zoo.
He found a shoe near his feet.
Because he was so sweet
Used his trunk to return it to Sue.

Sue thanked him by blowing a kiss
Which he caught with a swift trunk-twist.
She now visits her prince
More often ever since
And always greets him with an air-kiss.


Note: Semi-fictional limerick based on a true story that happened in August 2022
