Elephant by overalvandaan

Elephant

Eletelphony

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I’ve got it right.)

Howe’er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I’d better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

Laura E. Richards

Ohoh, eerlijk gezegd niet. Maar het eerste wat ik dacht toen ik deze olifant zag was "wat een mooi olifantje" haha …

Cute! Excellent poem.

By the way, I think I've decided on which colours I'm going to do each month:

January - Blue
February - White
March - Yellow
April - Green
May - Pink
June - Black
July - Purple
August - Red
September - Grey / B&W
October - Orange
November - Brown
December - Metallics

I'm also going to try and every month at least one each of the following themes:

Fruit, veg or foodstuff
Plant
Architecture/on the street
Transport
People
Selfie

There's nothing like making it difficult for oneself ....

@zomaareendag het olifantje heb ik van jou gehad jaren terug, nog voordat de kinderen er waren, misschien wel toen ik naar Wales vertrok.

@boxplayer yes, a list to work from! Thanks. Themes are great too, might have a go at some of them.
