If I was an Elephant


If I was an elephant i would be as happy as I could be

I would be so happy I would even climb a tree

 

Other elephants would stop and look at me

Saying “look at that silly ol’ elephant up in a tree”

 

They would stare and laugh and look at me all day

And I would just smile and say “hey”

 

They wouldn’t understand me and they might even rub their noggin

Because you would too if you saw an elephant wearing a toboggan.

 

I must admit I’d be a weird sight

Not many people are used to an elephant at this height

 

some people  can judge and some people can laugh

But if I’m not being fully me than I’m just living my life to it’s half

 

 yes this poem silly and I will never be elephant

 but if this helps a kid do something they can’t, then I have done what I wanted to do with this lovely rant.

I am a college graduate. just in graduate school! Whenever i stress out i express myself through my poetry. My family really doesn't know about the poems that i write, and i would like to keep it this way. I can stay one dimensional to my friends and colleagues, and have this double life as a hopeless romantic poet, and i am happy with that because poetry is really the only area where i express myself.
