THE ELEPHANT SONG 

ERIC HERMAN 
 
Elephants. I like elephants. Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees, elephants.
NO. WHAT? ELEPHANTS DON’T SWING THROUGH TREES.
THEY DON’T? WHAT AM I THINKING OF?
MONKEYS…
OH, WELL, IN THAT CASE…
Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean…
NO. THAT’S FISH.
OH. I SEE.
Fish. I like fish. I like how they scratch at fleas and sniff at trees
and bark at the mailman.
NO, NO, NO. THOSE ARE DOGS.
AH, Gotta like dogs.
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice.
NO, NO
WHAT THE…..? CATS.
CATS, OF COURSE.
Cats. I like cats. I like how they say, Cock-a-doodle-doo!
NO, NO, NO. THEY DO MEAW. YOU’RE THINKING OF
ROOSTERS
Oh Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey.
BEARS DO THAT.
Bears. I like bears.
I like how they jump up high to catch a fly and sit on a lily pad.
NO, NO, NO, NO. FROGS.
Gotta like frogs.
Running through a maze for some cheese.
NO, THAT’S MICE.
Mice. I like mice. I like how they say, Oink! Oink! Oink!
NO, NO. THEY GO SQUEEK, SQUEEK. THAT’S A DONKEY!
Donkeys. I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big gray trunks.
NO. THAT’S A ELEPHANT.
LIKE I SAID.
Elephants. I like elephants.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANINALS.
I DO SO!!!!!
YOU’RE SILLY.
I’M NOT ) :
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS? MATCH. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
They eat cheese. 
They sniff at trees. 
They swing through trees. 
They eat honey. 
They swim in the ocean. 
They eat flies. 
They eat mice. 
They have big grey trunks. 
They say cock­a­doodle­doo.
