AnElephantCant deny he is fussy
He has jazillions of strange likes and dislikes
Such as jigsaws of course
Or a red rocking horse
And aeroplanes but not mountain bikes
He enjoys playing in the park in the sunshine
With his secret magic hydrosonic stick gun
But not when it’s icy
That isn’t so nicy
Unless he has a sledge then that is great fun
He appreciates music with lush violins
And rock-n-roll and all sorts of art
Vincent and Dali
Aspidistras and holly
And he is delighted when little kids fart
He likes buildings with carvings of stone
And towers that nearly scrape the rain clouds
Lighthouses and bridges
But not biting midges
Which buzz round his head in great crowds
He loves dragons and mammoths and blackbirds
And iguanas and extinct dinosaurs
But not those darned meeces
He still hates them to pieces
But he likes turtles and apes and wild boars
Then there are great glens and vast lochs and mountains
And rivers that rush down to the sea
He is no fan of town planners
Deplores inconsiderate bad manners
And don’t forget that he just adores Meme
AnElephant cannot do without peanuts
Ice cream with sprinkles is his idea of heaven
And jelly and custard
Sliced ham with French mustard
But most of all he loves Jack who is seven
Jack is oh so adorable.
“And rivers that rush down to the sea”
“And don’t forget that he just adores Meme”
And just whom were you going to adore if rivers rushed down to the ocean?

AnElephantCant answer this question
About rivers and seas and oceans
If the rivers are so fickle
Or reduced to a trickle
Then AnElephant would probably well most likely unless he could come up with something better perhaps arguably just don’t you think maybe cause a commotion

i have a feeling the AnElephantCant has met Khalil Gibran! “Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”

That someone so wise
Inspires his friend The Mother of the Clan

I was about to comment here, but have to say, I love the new Gravatar Christina 🙂
Sorry I was a little off topic
I’m not always miopic
Your poetry is so neat
Always gives us a treat.
An apology should do the trick
I was 13 or 14, like
When I learned how to ride a bike
People would all laugh or cough
Every time that I fell off off
Then I would get narky like a tyke

AnElephantCant be rude to dear Alastair
So he will have to suggest this quite laterally
When the lovely Christina
In future is seen here
Please leave AnElephant to do all the flattery

AnElephantCant keep it a secret
Jack is quite a good-looking young man
But sadly it seems
Not AnElephant’s genes
Apparently he takes after his gran
