The Elk

Listen to poem:

There once was an elk a lonely elk not a wapiti or moose who had no friends not even a whelk so he went in search the silly goose hoping for the milk of elkish kindness with another of his ilk tho' he did go looking high and low roaming all around in the snow sad to say at the end of the day no others there were to be found and what's more seeking far and near he saw not even a caribou no one who'd whisper in his ear so no he never knew he was the only elk in the zoo
