Just look at 'We'll' in your last line.

This is a lovely child's poem. Animals. Anthropomorphism. Shock. Horror. And exactly the sort of language to entertain kids. Very well done.

Exceptional

The perfect start to a Sunday morning. A poem cleverly written with great humour. I loved the irreverent humour you have employed here. Especially liked your description of his nose that hung past his knees.

fun little poems about animals on a farm's reaction to having to share their space with an Elephant. Saw a movie the other night that featured an Elephant at a Hollywood party. Babylon was the movie. Saw Elephants in the wild in Thailand and India.

Thank you Jake. I appreciate the review and comments. I've only seen them at Zoos and the circus. I did get to sit on one once.

So well done, Beth. It is delightful and charming and sweet.
Sometimes, children's poems seem to forget their audience when they are written. This is just a perfect children's poem.
Best wishes,
Mary

Is this a contest entry? It really should be. What a fun, imaginative children's poem. My granddaughter would love this, she's a fan of animals. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the review and comments. No it isn't for a contest. Just a children's poem I revived in order to the 26 reviews. I'm glad you liked it.

What a clever poem, Beth. The rhyme is cute and fresh. It would be a great poem for young and old alike, as the saying goes.

I had to read it several times as it was so fun. I love stories and poems with unique viewpoints, and this one definitely does not disappoint!

Hugs,
Rhonda

Thanks Rhonda, Someone suggested I break it into verses and illustrate it as a children's book. It's a thought. I appreciate the review.

Hahaha, I love it. Isn't she just something else that wee hen? She describes it so well what big brute of an elephant is doing. No, I agree, he can't be off soon enough.
What a lovely poem, Beth.

As an old farm boy I've always loved to watch the way animals interact, most having a certain understanding and communication with the others. Thanks for sharing.

A fun one for children, and yes, seeing an elephant nearby and wtching him eat would certainly be enough to strike terror into a chick. Clever and imaginative.
