A PUNK A WORD

To Roosevelt
An elephant lay dying ON Africa's sunny
plain,
No soft voiced elephantess soothed his
elephantine pain;
But a comrade stood beside him. while
his life blood ebbed away,
And bent with plying glances, to hear
what he might say
"NTy hold on life is slipping" quoth the
dying pachyderm,
And though his eyes were glazing, his
gentle voice was firm.
Cake a message" he continued, "and a
token to the herd
My obituary, tell them, will bring a
PUNK word.
"Tell my brothers and companions, when
they meet and crowd around,
I hear my mournful story, in our old
time stamping ground,
That | stood without tremor, and
didn't try to run,
When | found that | was up against a

When my meal was interrupted by

The feeble breaths grew weaker in the
dying elephant
His loyal friend drew nearer to hear
what he might pant,
