ELEPHANT IN MY DESK

​

There's an elephant in my desk.

I hid him there one day

When my teacher wasn't looking

And now he's here to stay.

​

He took my neighbor's pencil

But my teacher didn't see.

So, of course, I got in trouble

It's not fair, not fair to me.

​

She thought that I was lying

Said she would have seen the trunk.

If an elephant had done the deed

And took my neighbor's junk.

​

He broke my teacher's chair

When he sat on it one day.

He left a present there for her

What kind I couldn't say.

​

He sits down on my lunch box

Peanut butter gets in his toes.

And when MY nose gets a tickle

It's my elephant's nose that blows.

​

He's really too much trouble

So I tried to take him home.

My pachyderm done run away.

Now I sit at school all alone.
