The Romance, by Shel Silverstein
Said the pelican to the elephant,
“I think we should marry, I do.
’Cause there’s no name that rhymes with me,
And no one else rhymes with you.”
Said the elephant to the pelican,
“There’s sense to what you’ve said,
For rhyming’s as good a reason as any
For any two to wed.”
And so the elephant wed the pelican,
And they dined upon lemons and limes,
And now they have a baby pelicant,
And everybody rhymes.

Maybe running into a bear isn't that bad
Yesterday was my birthday and I went to the zoo with my family.
I'm still full of anxiety but it was a good time.
Here is a picture of elephants: momma Renee and baby Kirkja!

I find it insane that at a point in time in history we used elephants for war literal medieval tanks these things. Anyway yeah wanted to make a medieval Indian war elephant and so I did too lazy to draw a background though so fire will have to do.
