Notes About The Poem

Why I'M Glad Elephants Can'T Fly

I looked at a bird flying high 
Its poop landed up in my eye 
I looked such a disgrace
As it slid down my face
Folks laughed, but I wanted to cry

FICTION WRITE!

Then I took the poop from Jan's eye And tossed it high in the sky And when it came down It splattered around To hit all those folks standing by Nice job Jan---and as I always say----"One good poop deserves ---one more good poop"
