| I met a man who stole an elephant From the local zoo He was standing outside Woolworths, 72 handkerchiefs knotted together To make a lead and collar And, of course, I had to ask What the hell he was doing He leapt forward, Grabbing my shoulders, Knocking the surprise right out of me And he yelled, He YELLED - 'The funniest thing said Is always said by another The saddest soul Is never your own Two lovers in perfect bliss Is never one half you The greatest invention, The sweetest melody, The most, The least, The graceandbeautyofanideainfusedwithlifemakingpeoplesighandgasp Not yours. It was Others Of whom Stendhal spoke. But now, NOW! I stand here With a stolen elephant And you will tell people Of the craziest thing you ever saw And it will be me Me! Me! ' And with that, He released his grip on my shoulders As the elephant, Calm as you like, Shat all over his leg. Anna Russell |

Anna, I am flabbergasted because you dare where others fear to tread. And I like the result. This is too powerful to not notice - and i hope others do as well. Rgds, Ivan
