The Elephant Has No Shoes

Elijah elephant trumpets the blues

He’s having problems finding some shoes

If he can’t find his size, he plans to sue

He needs more than two and wants to choose

He won’t perform, so the circus sends out its crews

To find four shoes that fit and won’t bruise

But the men who raise the tents have no clues

As they go to the store and line up in queues

They search through the racks, two by two’s

Try as they might, they can’t find elephant shoes

Say follow me to the elephant who falls for their ruse

Reasoning he’ll be happier at zoo in consensus of views

Blindly, the elephant trails the crew to the zoo

Bare feet hurt so sips through trunk bottle of booze

Reasoning in his unforgettable mind, he can’t lose

Because there are lots of female elephants, he muses!
