   SURF THE ELEPHANT

Picture
I saw an elephant surfing today
I'll race you through the waves, he cried
He jumped on his surfboard and sailed away
As I gaped at the view before my eyes
 
His trunk held steady, his stance was firm
As he leaned into the force
He was graceful and sporty and ready to learn
And he balanced right through the course

When a wave rose up, he turned a high flip
Landing right back down on his board
He steadied himself and waved his trunk
With a style that he could afford

Next he balanced with one leg back
His trunk stretched out to the front
In an almost dainty arabesque
Oh what an incredible stunt

As he came into sight the crowd cheered him on
Their excitement held no bounds
An elephant on a surfboard, they cried
That’s something that really astounds

I saw an elephant surfing today
He jumped on his surfboard and sailed out to sea
Keep your eyes on the board, I heard him say
And in no time at all you will look just like me.
