Elephant Love

Elephant Love
Quizmo LaGrande

In love with an elephant;
What can I say,
The tricky part is
To hide him away.

To keep him a secret
For no one but me;
I do like to share
But he’s special, you see.

Yes, hiding an elephant’s
Not easy to do,
Imagine just trying
To keep one from view!

I’ve tried stuffing his trunk
On the closet top shelf
While amongst the grey suits
You can’t tell if he’s stealth.

Under the bed,
A rather tight pinch,
‘Course no one will notice
Height’s extra twelve inch.

He sings me love songs
And plays guitar licks,
Somewhat hard on the fret board
But Lord can he pick,

And strum up a melody
Soft, sweet and pure
The songs of which lovers
Are eager to hear.

He special because
He loves only me,
(And everyone else
That he happens to see..)

So I must keep him secret
Truth known just to me;
I’m in love with an elephant
Just visible to me!
