When Elephants Do Ballet!

When elephants do ballet

In sequinned pinks and blues

Traversing street and alley

Squeezed into pointy shoes

The whole world goes doo-lalley

To see the moves they make

But when elephants do ballet

The whole world starts to shake.

While most of us are fretting

Over how to pay our bills

They are blithely pirouetting

In their swathes of starchy frills.

How the ground beneath them wobbles

In a slightly scary way

As they leap over the cobbles

And their muse leads them astray.

When elephants do ballet

Birds fall out of trees,

When elephants do ballet

Milk shakes into cheese.

See them gaily sashay; Divas, every one.

When elephants do ballet

It's time to turn and run.
