![]() Riding ElephantsA Chapter by Dave Brown![]() Balladeer begone![]() While
walking through the woods Last
Monday, it was a holiday I
felt the ground shake and rumble With
that disturbance coming my way Then
a huge tree trunk moved A
tree? No it was grey And
in spite of there being no wind Back
and forth it continued to sway A
crashing crunching sound all round Trees
uprooted, then thrown aside Then
an Elephant, and on its huge back Ana
Papaya was out for a ride Both
an unleashed Eddie and she together Riding
way up high, sitting abreast And
they were heading straight for me Just
now, over the near hill’s crest I
felt a great thing wrap round my neck And
just before I blacked out I
heard a voice criticize my singing More!
It was a blood curdling shout I
now sing no more as a Balladeer Because
of that unwarranted attack And
every night now, I have nightmarish sleeps That those critical three would come back © 2020 Dave BrownAuthor's Note
