Never, ever, forget
to feed the elephant;
because, you don’t want
an angry, hungry elephant,
in your house.
A mouse might chew
on your skirting boards
to get through to the other side;
but, you won’t be able to hide
the damage that a ‘phant would do
if they wanted to.
The skirting boards
might be the only things left;
of the rest of the room,
you could well be bereft.
