Where are the elephants?
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
A dandy old gent on Main Street
bounced up and down on his feet
Waiving his arms
and raising alarms,
he didn't appear too discrete.
A rookie by the name of Dan Picket
walked up to give him a ticket.
The old man did say,
"I keep the elephants away!",
as he waived a crooked old digit.
Officer Dan soon confessed
he wasn't impressed.
"There's no elephants here
in downtown Lapeer",
he said looking very distressed.
The old dandy gleefully cried,
"You'll not find an elephant nearby!
The evidence is clear.
They've all disappeared
Which proves that my theory is right."
