Never marry a man
who keeps an elephant
as a pet – trust me, I know.
No matter how slick
his explanations, please note:
elephants are not justification
for lapsed commitments, nor
hollow promises – relationships
can’t bear the costly weight of upkeep
no amount of toiling, cooking, or
maternal influence can detract
from the needs of animal outweighing
all other priorities – and don’t expect
sympathy from an elephant keeper’s
mother, she is in on the dupe, prayed
to offload this burden – compassion
fades swiftly in the face of giant-sized
demands, and elephants require feeding
If there’s an elephant in the equation,
I’d say cut the ties and the discourse –
no doubt another fool is waiting in the wings.

Wild animals never make good pets!! Here in Sri Lanka baby elephants are often taken from the wild and from their mothers to be used in temple ceremonies and sometimes kept as pets as a status symbol. So not unknown, but never a good out come for the elephant, never mind the wife!
