Daddy and the Elephant (Written for my English/Poetry college course)

Mother and I on vacation
Took a bowl and
Went to a hole--
Not just any hole
But a watering hole. 

We stood in line behind
A baggy elephant waiting for
Sustenance
But he move he did not--
Oh the ignorance!   

I got angry and spanked him
On the butt
All the while thinking
"Not sophisticated not smart but what?"
He sure is fashionable
My mother suddenly observed
As if she was in love--
Look at the colors
Such an array!
And though he is of many summer seasons
He is utterly gorgeous--
A gold ring of which I want wear! 

Inconceivable!  The conception
Of such an outrageous idea--
Something was off something was wrong
With my cute as a Popsicle mother,
"This morning mommy did you have your coffee?"
This animal is as uglier than daddy.
