Fying Elephant? Yay!

There's only one of those as far as I'm concerned, and it's this one! Thanks for reminding me, Tess, with your choice for Magpie #85. Here's my shadorma and a video for good measure...

Elephants
won't need those wings if
both ears flap!
Folks will clap
to see their bird-like gliding...
there'll be no hiding!

    That was enjoyment supreme, and bless Walt Disney!! What would we have done without him!! If wishes were horses then elephants would fly!! :)
    Birds will accept him
    Folks will clap,to see him fly
    But not his own kind
    Loved Dumbo the li'l Jumbo!!

    Dumbo came to my mind too - but that's all that did;-)

    Okay then...the ugly duckling of fable leads to so many versions of the story. Disney told it well.

    Dumbo the happy little Jumbo
    Merrily swinging with a mambo
    Kids who like to have more
    Disneyland is one place to go

    When Dumbo's mother sings him that lullaby I become a blubbering mess! Still!

    Good timing as Disney is re-releasing Dumbo in Bluray this month. I too thought of him but also purple cows.
