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.
