Twas the funniest sight Saw an elephant dance Wearing a frilly green dress Without any pants A crowd gathered round To take in the sight Some squirrels and penguins And hippos on bikes A bunch of silly monkeys Wearing polka dot ties Were joking with tigers Wearing shades for disguise What a glorious scene They were all having fun Taught us all a great lesson To love everyone No matter...

Where Do Elephants Go To Die
Where Do Elephants Go To Die ? I have seen them in my dreams, moving like shadows across the long green grasses, their great heads nodding in silent reverence to the world that made them. The rivers, the mountains, the endless sky—once their kingdom, now their grave. They walk with wisdom beyond our own, knowing joys we have long...

A dumpster fire
"To the White House he strode," sang his choir, The elephants sparked a dumpster fire, His words became its fuel, Deceit was his tool, While the donkeys cried foul: "He's a liar." We need no DC to know all these things, Just stamp your ear on the bald eagle’s wings. You’ll see Iran sneezing; And Israel pleasing, Not too far away Gaza's sorrow rings. Red...

In The Silence of The Spirits
They burnt tons of tusks But the felled beasts Remained silent still In the spirit realm Watching the fire slowly Consume pieces of themselves Waiting quietly In that realm Where their glorious trumping Is not perceptible to the living Waiting patiently For their brothers, sisters Sons, daughters and Pieces of themselves To join them In the silence of the spirits...

Two elephants were fighting
Earthquake was talking with my world. But my world not respond yet. Still now the dust still running all over my world. All grass still admitted due to high wounds they got during fighting. Oh am tired fighting with my own dream everyday. Oh am really tired watching my beautiful dream I can not touch. Oh am tired watching my own...

Premium Member is the elephants trunk a nose hand or mouth
is an elephant's trunk a nose or a hand? Wanting to find out I traveled to Africa land. One of the elephants used his trunk to wave at me. Saw another wipe his trunk against his sleeve. Female utilized her trunk to take a river drink. Now I am consternated, do not know what to think....

In the liveliest REM stage of his night Bert beholds an unusual sight. A troupe of pink elephants sound a trumpet blast Then stomp united towards the grass. On the other side, a team of tall strong guys March to the pitch with focussed eyes. "I'll be the goalie!' Dan told Bert. 'I'm least likely to get hurt." Bert referees. His...

Elephants and the Splendorous Moon
Bringing branches with their trunks, they start their festival with glee Swinging silent bells at the pearl sailing in the night sky Flinging away darkness and dirt, for light to finally see Singing pearls in the branches, pray to the divine up high Praying to the ship of fourteen gates filled with splendorous light Begging the pearl-gathering angels to help...

Premium Member Prince Elephants Conversation
The dastardly leopard held off when he saw enormous elephant prince. He is dressed in such splendor and is regal in ways of the lion he thought. Blue and gold elephant shook his head out of the trees, a good rinse. Wonder what my messenger has to say, wonder what he has brought. Leopard, puma and zebra are awaiting...
