There’s An Elephant in the Room
There’s an elephant in the room. It’s in the living room.
Now it’s in the rec room, and before long, the atrium.
After a leisurely stroll through the study, the elephant
meanders through the conservatory and makes his way
down the winding staircase to the wine cellar, but he loses
his footing and tumbles down the stairs! Luckily, the landing
is covered in soft elephants. Are they sleeping? He wonders.
All elephants wonder: are you sleeping? are you sleeping?
How can you, for I am in the room, wonders the elephant,
fully supine and barely noticed, despite the fact that elephants
seldom are either.
