Fun with Elephants

By Brent Johnson, Clam Gulch

You can’t win arguments

with elephants,

because they’re a hotbed

of perfect knotheads!

Belly big and a very great weight

Alaska is an elephant state.

Was the tropics they were born in

but live here with global warmin’.

Build a wall with Mexico land

all along the Rio Grande.

“Good fences make good neighbors”

packing heat and shaking sabres!

Ears like curtains on either side

the Tea Party in the Great Divide.

Old conservatives held respect,

Trump is an anchor ‘round their neck.

Palin grey they Cruz along,

wonder why their nose is long?

Kid Carson, such simple trust

wheat pyramids in a Nile dust.

Barry Obama, born in Kenya hot

a Muslim by elephant thought.

But one of the best presidents

according to D evidence.

Eight years out and doing better

America keeps growing redder.

The elephant has a very strange tail

all about their campaign trail.
