The Invisible Elephant
An Invisible Elephant
An Invisible elephant
Mosquitoes and turds
Along with the pachyderm
Rodents and birds
A host of foul germs
The room is a mess
We are strangers
Unwelcomed guests
Sit there rocking in your chair
Television reflection glare
An imprint of your derriere
In the cushion pressed
Upon his tusk you hang your coat
His trunk rocks the toddlers crib
How comfortably you rest!
In a silk red bed of regrets
I would ask for a drink
Except for the sink
Is the dive of egrets
Open wide your blinds
Let the sun shine in
At least your burly friend
Has a docile temperament
A rhino would be worse
A man whose home’s possessed
With an invisible hippopotamus
Can hardly ever laugh
One slip in the bath
And he’s bitten in half!
