Mary Tired of her Sheep,
No Longer Just a Lamb.
She Wanted Something Different
From An Everpresent Ram.
She Traded For An Elephant
Kept in a Massive Cage,
Then Started to Cut Off Its Trunk
So She Could Tell Its Age!
The Elephant Stampeded
In Excruciating Pain
And Trampled Poor Miss Mary
Into Nothing But a Stain!
The Moral of this Episode
Is Plain For All To See.
Never Take An Elephant
For Any Kind of Tree!
