It was a warm sunny morning
so I went for a stroll in the park
and ******* if I did not spy
an elephant by a tree striping bark

Suddenly it turned and with a cry
it did trot slowly up to me
how sweet was the little animal
I picked up my pace and it did follow me

So I took the lost creature home
just about fitted through my front door
I took it into my kitchen
lucky I did as it relieved itself all over the floor

So as I went to get a bucket and mop
and then I did hear a tremendous crash
rushing back to see what had happened
the creature had crashed through my back door
and was eating the flowers in my garden

I pushed the fellow with all my might
to get him out of the neighbours sight
after cleaning up his watery mess
I left him there and went to bed
and when I did awake he was laying by my head

Next day I did know what to do
I picked the phone up and called the zoo
they came with a truck at midday
and I waved goodbye as they took him away
