AnElephantCant hide his disappointment
He has never met a harpoonist
His reader may surmise
That line was contrived
Is AnElephant a cold-blooded opportunist
In winter we have sub-zero temperatures
Midnight is no frostier than noon is
If you hear a clunk
That’s his icicled trunk
Because the sun is less warm than the moon is
But he tries hard to keep warmth in his humour
And to trumpet no matter how frozen his tune is
Things can always be worse
Just read this terse verse
By Bud Neill Scotland’s legendary cartoonist
Winter’s come, the snow has fell
Wee Josie’s nose has froze as well
Wee Josie’s frozen nose is skintit*
…Winter’s diabolical intit?**
* skintit – skinned, scraped
** intit – do you not agree, or if you are from the USA, ain’t it
Bud Neill was a poet and cartoonist who created the wonderfully named villain Rank Badyin, arch-enemy of Lobby Dosser, the Sheriff of Calton Creek (pictured below).
Yin means one.
Love the poem, love the video and once again that incredibly handsome adorable little Jack….everything needed for the perfect post….only lacking that “love” button I always wish for when visiting AnElephant! Hugs ~

AnElephantCant help but wonder
If he has made a terrible blunder
It seems bonnie Jack
Takes the ladies aback
And is stealing AnElephant’s thunder
Hugs and thanks

I can’t decide which thing I like more. The great drawing, the clever words, the short video (who’s your friend – talking to the snowman here as I don’t see an elephant anywhere around) the reading of Bud Neill’s poem, or the incredibly good looking young man standing next to the statue of Lobby Dosser. Tough choices! A wonderful post, thank you! 🙂

On her PC screen
Don’t you know AnElephant is camera shy
