Eggplant Elephant
Poetry Book Excerpt: Animals Galore
There's an elephant who likes eggplant
oh, he loves it so
he plants it, and waters it,
and eats it really slow.
An eggplant that grows
quite purple and plump
that vines like an ivy
and pleases an elephant.
Eggplant in a pan is
the greatest you see
loved by an elephant
who wants an eggplant tree.
The elephant, he likes it
with cheese and sauce
a favorite food,
eggplant is the boss!
Just growing his eggplant
hardy in the sun,
growing this vegetable,
this elephant has fun.
Eggplant is not a sweet potato
a legume or a beet
it doesn't have thorns,
sideburns or feet!
An eggplant is an Aubergine
and doesn't look like lasagna
but can be cut just so
and made into parmigana.
An elephant who cooks eggplant
and tends it every day
if you saw the Eggplant Elephant,
what would you say?
