Pachyderm
My friend was walking in the bush
Came upon a herd of elephant
They all seemed worried about this little baby
Limping in the front
They would look at the baby and look at him
With sadness in their eyes
Somehow he knew it would be OK
Though he could not reason why
He lifted his front foot
So the man he took a look
He saw a cactus stuck there
So he pulled each needle by the root
25 years later he was walking through the zoo
And he saw a bigger elephant
one he thought he knew
He went over by the bars
And the elephant did too
He held his hand out In friendship
And the elephant stuck his trunk right through
Wrapped around him just as though
He was giving him a hug
Then he threw him down and stepped on him
And crushed him like a bug
He was a different pachyderm
Lesson learned
