The Elephant

Huge and gigantic, Tall and magnificent, Heavily-bodied and weighty, The elephant in the gait of its own, Just like a mountain block Tumbling, The hill shining blue Against the sunshine. Four-footed and bulky-bodied, Trumpeted and tusked, With the big ear drums Like the palm leaf hand fans, The eyes big and bulging, The plantain-legged elephant Going the way. The beast of the wild, Shaking the ears, Waving the trunk Like a snail in movement, The trunk shrinking, Played with And moved up. The elephant going Like a chunk of stone Blackly, A rock tumbling, With the plantain-shaped legs Slow in movement But wildly and bestial. A brute of he wild It is huge and gigantic, Wild and heavy, Going slowly, Uprooting the branches Of the trees, Taking the leaves. The elephant Uprooting and crushing Is not easily to be taken, Sucking and soaking water Through the trunk Like a small water pump set And spraying over. An animal of the wilds and forests, It is better to be in jungles Rather than in towns and cities, Huge and gigantic, Magnificent and weighty enough, Bulging and bulky-bodied, The elephant going its way. Do not disturb its way Otherwise it will disrupt you, Leave the talks of the tamed elephants, The wild elephants wreak havoc, Go on a rampage and can destroy, Break houses, destroy crops, The tamed ones too go on rampage And kill sometimes.
