One of a book of poems I wrote for my grandson, Oliver. This one features Hairy Norah, a multi-colored elephant that makes noises.

Hairy Nora reads the Torah from daybreak until dusk. She’s got four different colored legs, but not a single tusk. There’s a birdie sitting on her back that moves and sways like Elvis, Her ears are crinkly when they’re pressed and there’s a mirror on her pelvis. Now I’ve been almost everywhere on my old rusty bike, But an elephant like Nora, I have never seen the like.

What a great toy! I guess some elephants are Jewish by choice. Fun poem!

Elephants are compassionate animals! Nora is a cute name.

These have to be put into a book. Promise you will, because Oliver's Oliver's Oliver's Oliver's Oliver will someday be bragging about these, John.
