Those Who Are Trying To Hide An Elephant

Rating: 5.0

Oh, you think you can hide an elephant with ease?
Under a hanky, oh so neatly please?
That's a sight to behold,
And too funny to be believed.

If you tried to wrap a trunk,
It would probably just go "clunk",
And if you tried to hide a leg,
It would look like a big mushroom-y egg.

Your handkerchief may be soft and fine,
But it won't contain that massive form divine,
So don't even try, my dear, it's futile,
To cover up that wondrous creature wild!

The tail just couldn't fit,
And the ears would be a hit,
Even the tusks would be a chore,
To put in a handkerchief, you'd have to be a pro.

So if you want to cover an elephant,
don't use a handkerchief,
Instead use a big tarp,
and you'll have a hide-and-seek elephant in the dark.

Ha ha ha it is of no use, to hide your mistakes you need thick skin.

Marvellous poem, it talks about the truth of the life, brutal and open. We all do this time and again.

It is futile to hide a truth with a false facade when every body can see it---It is a no nonsense poem, though you have said it as non-sense as one of the categories.
