Here is a silly little tribute to the joys of apartment living…. Ha…. ha…. ha….
MARCHING OF THE ELEPHANT
Early in the morning, I heard a pitter-patter
A squeal of delight, followed by some laughter
I thought to myself, “What a joyous sound!”
Unaware of events that would turn things around;
So suddenly a sound like thunder began
And the ceiling shook as the creature ran…
Then thump-boom-thump all through the place
My peaceful reverie vanished without a trace;
There must be an elephant marching to and fro
With each earth-shaking step my torture grows;
At times I am granted a short-lived reprieve
A tiny bit of solace that I gladly receive;
Enjoy this moment and seize the day!
For soon enough the elephant will be back to play…
