A joke is the most powerful thing there is, the most terrible: it is irresistible. . . . Great pity for people who believe in the seriousness of life.
–Gustave Flaubert
AnElephantCant really deny it
This quote is right on the money
He is a bit of a dunce
Tries to be serious once
And finds out it just isn’t funny
So tomorrow he gets back to normal
And writes something a little bit dafter
His rhymes are baroque
Now there’s a bad joke
He does anything on the off-chance of laughter
He does not usually get involved in the Classics
Especially 19th Century French Literature
So he says Merci
To Monsieur Gussie
And remembers that’s what he put up a picture for
Gustave se réjouirait de ta pleasanterie.
Emmy laughs; so would Bovary.

AnElephant is witty
Although perhaps not so pretty
And it is somewhat moot
Whether he is cute
But no ifs or buts
He takes the peanuts

An elephantcant is an amazing phenomenon. Wise and witty, clever and cute, and all things that make up the in-between. Remarkable in and of itself. I look forward to his next offerings, with great relish! 🙂 xx

AnElephantCant quite understand this
He is not at his sharpest today
With care and discretion
He poses the question
Just what are you trying to say?
