Ceramic Blues
Jun 2011
He's a blue ceramic elephant
Left standing in the hall
His trunk towards the front door
His tail against the wall
He's got white ceramic tassels
And a white cap on his head
A howdah with a pot on it-
The plant in it quite dead
Because his trunk is curled up
It's supposed to bring good luck
Well, it hasn't done him any good
It's up alright - but stuck.
His eyes are white and unglazed
That's why he never blinks
Sometimes he'd like to roll 'em-
Or wink ceramic winks.
But now and then at midnight-
When no one's there to see
He kicks ceramic heels up
And trumpets "I am free!"
