Where Drunken Elephants Go To Die

Where drunken elephants go to die
Was my lucky spot when I was a child
Sure others did not believe 
But what did they know? It was my world.

Missing links lurk under my gray matter
Bringing up ideas from out of the ether
I run with them gladly
For I am a poet, a cartoonist, and a painter

Gives sway to the wind’s whims, 
My imagination, on fire, especially in summer
June is my wild month 
When I have four weeks off work

Each breath becomes a project
Each idea becomes a painting
Each ideal becomes a cartoon
I am in my element here.

Hahaha This was something that popped itself down on the page and stuck its tongue out at me.

That's about it - cartooning, painting, and poetry.
