Unorthodox Elephants

To celebrate the Bank Holiday I present, for the first time in public, some lines of verse that I have written myself.

Unorthodox elephants live by their wits
On a diet of chocolate and beer.
They're often invited, and never decline
but seldom if ever appear.

These excellent animals all want careers
But not if it spoils their fun,
They turned up their trunks at a three album deal
Preferring to lie in the sun.

Unorthodox elephants affect disdain
For whim, for the caprice of fashion
And yet their opinions are constantly sought
By those who appreciate passion.
