Saved by an Elephant
I wandered off the sandy track,
Then felt the ground pull me back.
A step too far, a careless slip.
Next thing I knew, I’d lost my grip.
The sand was soft, then not at all,
It grabbed my legs, I tried to call.
I flailed, I screamed, “Well, this is grand,
I’m sinking fast in quicksand!”
Just when I thought there was no chance,
A mighty trunk cut short my dance.
An elephant, so large and wise,
Pulled me up, what a surprise!
Now safe and sound upon dry ground,
I pat his head, he makes no sound.
Lesson learned, I understand.
Don’t take a walk through sinking sand!
