Aardvarks have egos, too...

AN ALABASTER AARDVARK
A Silly Sonnet
By Izzy Ess of Silliness
An alabaster aardvark was accosted
By an elfin elephant who was accustomed
To refined and cultured manners when
He sallied out to meet his friends upon
Three grassy knolls in Alexander Park.
The aardvark recapitulated all
His idioms in order that he would
Regain his self-respect.  Unluckily
The elephant stepped on him and he crushed
His armour into many smithereens.
In Hudson’s Bay, the dolphins play a song,
That differentiates what’s right from wrong.
Suffice to say, in Mandalay, the daily
Traffic rush is not a brush with hay.
THE END
