Tammy Sue

  The blue twin headed elephants you knew,
  Met them in a bar,
  One night,
  In a fight.
  Neither one of which,
  Knew what to do.
  Tammy was a pacifist.
  Sue loved a good fight.
  Each had to go home,
  With the other at night.
  Their various beliefs,
  Caused such a fright.
  Both began to,
  Pull their hair out at night!
  Oh Tammy Sue,
  Oh Tammy Sue,
  What will you do?
  When the police come for you!
  Every night you have a fight,
  Now your neighbors are up all night!
  Can you not see,
  How easy it would be,
  To curl your trunks in,
  Underneath your chin?
  Have a peanut or two,
  And say you are through!
  No more fights at night!
  Perhaps you could take a flight,
  See the world,
  Eat peanuts on a ship.
  Or walk about,
  Quietly living,
  Which is what you could shout!
  No arguments here!
  No fusses to be had!
  Very nicely living,
  Very quietly to bed!
