[CharlesOConnell]

Elephants are useful friends,
Equipped with handles at both ends.
They have a wrinkled moth-proof hide;
Their teeth are upside down, outside.
If you think the elephant preposterous,
You’ve probably never seen a rhinosterous.

Camille Saint-Saens: The Carnival of the Animals, with Verses by Ogden Nash, Narrated by Jonathan Winters: Number 14, The Elephant

The Elephant

When people call this beast to mind,
They marvel more and more
At such a

little tail behind,

So LARGE a trunk before.
