tramples humans
knocks over trees for fun
tears your eardrums with its trumpet
but don't let's mention it,
it's nobody's fault
lumbers in with that musty smell
breaks the floor with its natural weight
shreds the drapes with its tusks
but please don't say anything,
it didn't mean to
stop acting surprised
you've trained it to do this
Not that it deserves Orwell's gun
or Edison's electroshock
but if we put it in the circus
we can only expect it to perform
