Hello there~!
Another cute poem! I really loved this one~ The line about nobody wants to be gawking at an elephant's knees was my favourite.
Well Done~
Cute pic as well!
JazakAllah Khair~!
(God Bless~!)

Oh, my dear sweet little Sawyer. You'll just have to come and visit jada so you can go walk with the elephants. Only one and a half hours away. We can also see monkeys and meerkats and sail boats on the dam. No, no elephants in Encino. :) luv jada

Thanks so much, Jada - he has seen them at the zoo, but I bet he would be thrilled to see them out in the open :-) Brooke

Hi Brooke,

I'm so behind on my reviews. How adorable! I'm so glad you wrote this because I will no longer look for elephants when I go for a walk, lol. Those better not be fire ants - ouch.

Hugs,
Lou

What a dissapointment for Sawyer, no ellephants in Encino. This is a really fun poem with great rhymes. Too bad that Sawyer can only find ants though. good stuff there, Brooke.

HAHA! From elephants to ants. Very cute. I like the reasoning behind the explanation of why, perhaps, there are no elephants in Encino. I love how inquisitive Sawyer appears to be.

Your charminng whimsical verse is my first read of the day and it left me smiling.

I do think that there is a derth of charm and whimsy in our world today. I do appreciate you filling that lack. Of course, with the inimitable Sawyer as a muse ... I would not have expected less.

Hugs, d

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, Diane - yep, I figure enough others are piling on the doom and gloom. They can do without me to add to the pile :-) I appreciate your generous six stars, my friend :-) Brooke
