THE elephant is very large And clumsy as a wooden barge, W^ith legs like tree-trunks, yet he's mild And gentle as a little child. The elephant walks far away And sees strange children in their play, And carries logs and iron bars As easily as motor-cars. The elephant's a great big beast ''" Not beautiful, but good, at least. Strong as a tree, but withal mild And gentle as a little child. |
