THE ELEPHANT
The elephant came to afternoon tea
It was the biggest elephant you ever would see
It must have weighed six ton or more
We had a job to squeeze it through the
Kitchen door
Mr Elephant we said what would you like to eat
A bunch of bananas would be a very nice treat
And a bucket of milk I'd like to drink
or a gallon of water out of the sink
After tea hiding seek we thought we could play
But where would an elephant hide away
It was too big to hide behind a tree
And it couldn't crawl under the settee
While we were thinking of something else to do
The elephant our plum tree decided to chew
Dad came out in a dreadful rage
And wanted to put him in a cage
Please don't hurt him dad we said
Maybe we could take him up to bed
But we knew it was getting very late
So we said goodbye and let him out the garden
