The Man With the Unflappable Flappers

I once met a man with ears so large That “Dumbo the Elephant” had less by far. Protruding outward from his head to the sky Way up to the clouds where the birds did fly Landing upon his outstretched sails Building their nests inside his furls. And so he lived with birds too many Hanging ‘round his ears a plenty With people looking on chagrined Wondering what on earth transpired with him To make his sweet sound catchers grow Larger than Jacks Bean Stock Wouldn’t you know? And so he lived his life with nests Inside his lobes and gave his best To all those birds and people too Laughing and joking ‘til they turned blue. No less than the air he often shared With those who came to see This man with the pair of unflappable flappers Was no less than you and me.
