ELEPHANT WITH WINGS

I’ve  been given these wings for my birthday

My ears just aren’t quite big enough,

I can fly in my dreams,

But on waking, it seems

That I’m too big for this sort of stuff.

I really am quite disappointed;

I can’t seem to get off the ground,

I watched Dumbo do it,

And thought, “nothing to it,”

But I’m too heavy, too fat and too round.
