The Ant and the Elephant

or, Tony and Lofty

Tony the Ant 🐜
he just wanted to rant,
so he climbed up the plant 🌿
to talk to an elephant 🐘
whose first name was Lofty,
and ever and oft he
was seen as a softy
till one day he coughed. He
said, “Don’t underest-
imate me, ’cause it’s best
you don’t.” Then he confessed
“I’m not wearing a vest.
This skin is my own,
I don’t want to moan
but it’s not mine to loan.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Poor Tony the Ant 🐜
then climbed down the plant. 🌿
He sighed, “You just can’t
ever rant to an elephant.”

A response to this tweet:

Benny the bee
was sad little he
was smitten with Queen
whose name was Pauline

he dreamed that they waltzed
and sipped chocolate malts
and talked about stars
and fast foreign cars

he offered Queen honey
Queen wanted his money
but no money had he
poor Benny the bee#vss365
