My Dad’s Obsessed With Elephants

My dad’s obsessed with elephants,
he wished it was his pet.
And when his birthday came, I knew
exactly what to get.

I went off to the forest, and
exploring it was fun.
I must bring home an elephant
although it weighs a ton.

I found an elephant which was
as obese as a hog.
I tied a rope around its neck
and walked it, like my dog.

At first, it wouldn’t follow me
and just would not obey.
I lured it with bananas which
then made it go my way.

At last, it was next to my house
(it almost took a day).
I fed it with a lot of fruits
and begged for it to stay.

When my dad saw the elephant,
he quickly got acquainted.
He then jumped up and down for joy;
my mother nearly fainted.

That’s one of the funny poems that are to be published in my poetry book. In fact, it was the first poem I’ve ever written in 2009!
