My Elephant Is Different
My elephant is different than most elephants I meet,its ears are short and fuzzy,it has feathers on its feet. It’s scaly like a lizard,and it’s furry like a skunk,it sports a sort of auger where there ought to be a trunk.
It doesn’t much resembleother elephants I find,its tail is like a mushroomon its tiny blue behind.It cackles like a chicken,and it’s fourteen inches tall—at times I think my elephant’sno elephant at all.Source: A Pizza the Size of the Sun (Prelutsky, 1994/1996, p. 9)
