What is Brown and Sticky?

AnElephant’s best friend, two sticks and a conker

AnElephantCant pretend that he is normal
Sometimes he does get up to daft tricks
When he and his chum for a lark
Go exploring in the park
They both make sure that they carry beauty sticks

A boy can’t really have an adventure
Or AnElephant who supports his endeavour
Without a multi-functional tool
And Jack is no fool
He knows that to be caught empty handed is not clever

A stick is handy for cleaning out ditches
And keeping jaggy leaves out of your face
If it’s a long one
You can throw it for fun
But a little twig is hidden in a double secret place

It can be used for capturing dragons
Or zapping bad guys with its hydrosonic rays
It may be a magic wand
Or crack the ice on the pond
It gets utilised in about three thousand ways

Sometimes the scientists do mystic experiments
They sit a stick on a fence and watch for a wiggle or a wobble
This is sometimes quite dull
When the wind has a brief lull
But at least it keeps them out of trouble

A good stick can be used as a golf club
Or a bow for arrows or a bridge over a stream
And they are easy to hide
When the daring duo go inside
To enjoy their weekly helping of multi-flavoured ice cream
