AnElephant in the Room

Chez Emmy, un papillon, Eros et la piscine, un trop petit mot

AnElephantCant find the words for his friend Emmy
For helping him out when his plans fall apart
He tells the whole blogging world
About this wonderful girl
Whom he thanks from the bottom of his heart

At a time when she has her own problems
Passing time inevitably takes someone she loves
She says my house is yours
Tu es bienvenu toujours
No expression of gratitude is enough

She does much more than merely provide shelter
The lady is a cordon bleu chef
AnElephant is no longer lean
With her fantastic cuisine
He eats peanuts till he runs out of breath

And then of course there is Eros
Le chien qui garde la maison
They have intellectual French talks
When they take their long evening walks
AnElephant thinks this Berger Allemand is amazing

As if all this is not quite enough
There is also a much enjoyed piscine
When the sun’s at its hottest
AnElephant’s bot is
Immersed in this pool cool and clean

Now you may think that AnElephant exaggerates
But this is what Emmy has said
Just relax here my friend
Till the high season’s end*
In paradise ten minutes walk from the Med

 But AnElephant is still peripatetic
The time has come when he has to move on
But not back to the zoo
He has a nice view
Over La Mer in a wee place of his own

 Merci, cherie, tu restes toujours dans mon coeur

He politely declined.
