Funniest Thing...

...I have ever witnessed.

The elephant was hungry;

he walked up to his friend.

He took his trunk and put it

into his pal’s back end.

 

When he pulled it out again

he ate what he had found;

the newly cleaned-out elephant

uttered not a sound!

 

Now that’s the truest comrade

an elephant can find,

each helping out the other

in his own distinctive bind.

July, 2006 - Oakland Park Zoo. My family and I had never laughed so hard in our lives... we dubbed the two elephants Phil and Doug... ;p
