Elephant Limerick

Desist from your rave and your rant,

But indulge in hypocrisy and cant.

To lumber around overhead.

 

It's 3 - sometimes 4 in the morning,

When sleep leaves and I wake up instead;

At times even daylight is dawning 

When the elephants tramp home to their bed.

 

But real jumbos are famously quiet,

Their steps are...
