Not About Lephants Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Not About Elephants
I will not mention elephant even though they are
majestic looking bend to the advice of the Mahout
who whispers encouragement in its ear like a joker
at the royal court. Sometimes like kings they rebels
- off with their heads- trashes about until calmed and
there is no reason other than feeling trapped I used to
see rabbits when on my motorbike I saw tigers, boars
and lions too but I had to sell the bike and hate it when
someone says it was for the best. Well, it was not for me
and how the they presume to know what I like?
or not, we were out having lunch I wanted a glass of wine
But you can only have one she helpfully said, I didn`t have
any wine she is not my Mahout. I will rebel trampling down
cars; tomorrow I will go out looking for rabbits
