"When you have got an elephant by the hind leg, and he is trying to run away,
it's best to let him run." ~ Abraham Lincoln
"Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant;
but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured."
~ Indian Proverb
"You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it."
~ Denzel Washington

Joy
delightful sprinkles
rain down on summer sidewalks
quenching our thirst for joy

Riding Pink Elephants
I thought I saw a pink one.
my head upon the bowl
a gag a gaze a grunt or two
my belly how it rolled
I only though to omit
just one of seven sins
I was trying to remember which
when the room began to spin
a pretty pink pachyderm
my pride I must maintain
for every gift I give this night
is loss and never gain
a mouse of blue called me out
he told me I must stand
I hopped upon the pachyderm
and from the mouse we ran....
