A Favorite Poem
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 have 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 better drop this song
Of elephop and telephong!)
Laura E. Richards
