AnElephantCant consort with the crowd
He doesn’t have that sort of mentality
They say birds of a feather
All hang out together
Or some variation of that strange verbality
Most animals you find in a collection
But AnElephant is on the outside
Hedgehogs gather in an array
Pheasants like flowers in a bouquet
And Lions unsurprisingly strut about in a pride
Starlings do their thing in a murmuration
Emus and Kangaroos bound around in a mob
Tigers in an ambush
A gaggle for a Goose
And proverbially Bulls in a China Shop
Meeces squeak in a mischief or colony
Possibly to avoid a kettle of Hawks
Gnats float in a cloud
Over a hover of Trout
And predictably in a skulk is the Fox
Like the Cat in the story by Kipling
AnElephant often walks by himself
Because Wolves in a pack
A knot of Snakes in a sack
He evades for the sake of his health
The question is often asked of AnElephant
And you may find his answer absurd
Unlike a murder of Crow
Or a gang of Buffalo
He thinks that Pachyderms should be seen and not herd!
Love it. 🙂 Maybe it should be a Pack of Pachyderms 🙂

AnElephantCant be like a canary
His feathers are so rarely ruffled
But he tells Alastair
He does take great care
To ensure that the pack is well shuffled

AnElephantCant disagree with Emmy
Even if no common sense she’s applying
But unlike Pinocchio
Who saw his nose grow
AnElephant will never be a lion
(grrooannn!)

AnElephantCant be bothered to answer
Because Penny already should know
If she reads his replies
With her pretty blue eyes
Then she sees what he said to Roxi below

AnElephantCant quite believe it
He sweats blood to create a verse that is fun
And what does he find
That people are kind
But they all just want to laugh at a bad pun
