Holiday With The Elephant comic poem 361 by Angela Lansbury

Grand-daughter's more than two years old

In parks she climbs, slides down the slide

If she is tired they take the car

She falls asleep while they ride 


Sweetie a had a holiday

She went away to Thailand

She had a super duper time

Which her parents, both, had planned


They went to see an elephant

That was really grand

It was big and tame and gray

Afterwards she played on the sand


Elephants in Asia

Are big and wide and tall

But compared to Africa

An Asian elephant is small


She still thought of the elephant

She said, Let's take it home to our place

Her Dad considered, shook his head

It won't fit in your little suitcase


But back home she has a toy

An elephant like a rocking horse

A toy which brings her lots of joy

Four legs, a trunk, and gray, of course


Sweetie has an elephant toy

Sees an elephant at a zoo

Reads about it in a book

She\s seen a real one, too! .
