Elephant Frenzie Poem by Rob Knetsch

after the second meal (a large meal)
they put their heads together
and with their trunks muted
whispered secret agreements

while the visitors were wondering
what that noise was all about
they lined up and started pounding
their feet in a marching beat

as they queued up by turning left
they lifted their trunks up high
and started to imitate a brass band
they played some nice band music

the visitors were cheering and clapping
as they started marching toward the exit
