Elephant and Mouse

Strong, big, and there, He made his presence known, As he strode through the great plains, That elephant's greatness shone. Small, hidden and quiet, She was generally inconspicuous, As she ran along the dusty ground, That mouse chose to make a fuss. She didn't like his attitude, The way he was so vain. He didn't like how she challenged him, And thought she was a pain. But the mouse showed him up, Oh she put him in his place! And the elephant for a while, Refused to show his face. So the elephant learned his lesson, And does his best to steer clear, For the mouse knows, That in him she installed fear.

So this is me trying to expand my poetry topics and so I'm writing about things that inspire me. This particular piece came around when I was remembering my time in africa and the elephants.
