An Outstanding Elephant April 28, 2008
An outstanding elephant floats to the moon
on packets of Angel Delight
and says to his children “we’ll be there quite soon
you’ll just be amazed at the sight
of the Martians who play in the asteroid crater
Venutian tourists who buy and pay later
when offered a ride to the sun
in an old and decrepit and most unsafe freighter
built back in 2001″
he said
“built back in 2001″

A lovely poem. It transported me out of my classroom to a much, much better place. It is good to see that tmwwbk continues to be inspired. When are we going to be able to purchase these works in printed form?
