The Siamese Elephant
A mother and her child went walking one day,
"Oh, look," She said, "Over that way!"
"What is that, mother?" the child cried in dismay.
"Why it looks like a Siamese Elephant, munching on hay!"
His body was tan with extremities brown,
His chocolate tail waved slowly around.
"But, mother, a cat doesn't have a trunk for a nose."
Just then the elephant bellowed, "MEEEOOOW" through his hose!
"Oh my! Who would believe!
Son, let's keep this between you and me!"
