ELEPHANTS ON THE RUN

Michael Edwards

 

Elephants, when they are on the run

are wily - and not to be outdone

with red painted balls they climb with ease

and hide up high in cherry trees.

    I am laughing out so loud, wonderful start to my day Michael.

      I often think of undercover elephant who, to disguise himself, wore a lone ranger type mask and he was the only elephant around - thanks Andy. So pleased it gave you a laugh.

      Oh lol, that's where they hide then!

      I found one in my custard. It had painted its feet yellow. Can't trust em

      • Michael Edwards

        And they paint their trunks to look like rhubarb - they are wily critturs.

      • dusk arising

        They paint the underside of their feet yellow so they cant be seen hiding upside down in the custard. (Whats yellow and dangerous? ... shark infested custard of course)

        They get everywhere..... how can u tell the elephants been in the fridge .... footprints in the jelly...... How can u tell theres an elephant in the oven..... u cant close the door....

        I could go on and on and.....

          Those poor L E Phants, the butt of so much humour - and what a butt.

            Can't say I'm an expert in matters elephants scrotums. Can't get the hang of them.

            They must have been awfully BIG cherries! I do like your humor, Michael.

            • Michael Edwards

              They were and a bit sour - or so I am told!!

            • Neville

              Which begs the question..

              (Q) So how do they get down again...

              (A) they sit on a leaf and wait till fall

              Nice one sir Michael

              Neville
