Elephanteria Library Poems About Elephants
Grand To Be An Elephant by Wayne Hepburn

An elegant Elephant waltzing along Was heard to sing out this marvelous song. How grand to be an Elephant, yessireeeee; As strong and brave as anyone can beeeee; Also smart, and kind, you must agreeeee, So swell and grand, it simply seems to meeeee, That everyone should an Elephant want to beeeee. OH! How grand to be a mighty pachyderm, It's quite a bit handsomer than a worm. I could have ended up a bumble bee; Instead He made me just the way I ammmm, So big I can unearth a giant treeeee, And no one dares turn me into a hammmm. An Elephant, it's truly fine to beeeee; For nothing else on earth from A to Zeeee, Quite compares to the lovely likes of meeeee-eee. I surely must be nature's apo-geeeee. I've tried to think of a better thing but cannnnn't; The very best thing to be is an El-eeeee-phannnnnt. ©1997 Wayne Hepburn
