AnElephantCant stay warm in winter
He has trouble finding bed-socks his size
He needs a giant hotty
To warm his mammoth botty
And his duvet’s a big top in disguise
To wrap up AnElephant is not easy
He has tusks and big ears and a tail
It takes more than aspirin
To stop him a-gasp-er-ing
But on the bright side he is robust and not frail
AnElephantCant shake a head cold
An earache brings great consternation
So when anyone comes near
The thing to most fear
Is the prospect of giant sternutation
Yes when he sneezes it is like a tornado
Or an earthquake and this is the truth
His explosive emissions
Guarantee demolition
Of windows and chimneys and roofs
So AnElephant is best kept indoors
When the sleet and the snow start to fall
A wee drop of toddy*
Safeguards his old body
And brings safety and comfort to all
* A traditional Scottish remedy for just about everything- hot water, sugar and just a splash of whisky
(Meme, a big dollop of whisky, ok)

I am not fond of cold
If I may be so bold
As to put in my two cents
of nonsense
I simply can’t stay Zen
My neurons are frozen
I can’t feel my fingers.
The icy wind lingers
Past my patience
And my endurance.

AnElephantCant deny he loves Emmy
Though she comes to his posts very late
Even though she is cold
She has to be told
Please try harder to stay up to date

Can’t help but be curious here, if anelephantcant stay warm, perhaps the Kalahari might be a better spot for him, just saying!

AnElephantCant help feeling unwanted
You could not hurt him more if you try
He already explained
In a story he penned
And posted here away back in July!

It would take mammoginormous booties
These humunguous plates warm to keep
The question he finds
Coming to mind
Where can you possibly find so many sheep

Love your reply, and very true, we would need loads of sheep. So Elephant just needs to stay near the open fire, to keep warm. 🙂

AnElephantCant thank his wee chum enough
For this favour she offers to perform
But it would take a huuuuge box
Of thick woolly socks
To help his mammoth tootsies stay warm
