Now You See Him in Kelvingrove Museum

Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow, Scotland (1901)

AnElephantCant quite believe it
He just has another great day
This time you see him
In Kelvingrove Museum
And Park where he and Jack go to play

The museum is a Victorian marvel
Chock-a-block with amazing stuff
Antlers reaching so high
A Spitfire up in the sky
A Ceratosaur and a model woolly Mammoth

Woolly Mammoth, AnElephant, an Ostrich Egg dwarfed by Elephant Bird Egg

The hall houses a huge Lewis Pipe Organ
Which is being played while they have their lunch
This delightful recital
Ends with Jack’s forthrightful
Come on or we’ll miss a whole bunch

They always have time for the monkeys
And the giraffe with those legs quite absurd
They see art and sculpture
A big scary vulture
And the giant egg of the Elephant Bird

A Ceratosaur, a Dog made of Rubber Boots, A Giant Elk

They check out the birds and the insects
And the hive with real live working bees
Ecology lessons
Artefacts past and present
Jack absorbs all the info with ease

Then homewards along the banks of the river
AnElephant’s Alma Mater overlooks the sweet Kelvin
Some ducks and a swan
A Grey Heron in the pond
And of course ice cream to finish a day out in heaven
