I saw a little elephant standing in my garden, <br />I said 'You don't belong in here', he said 'I beg you pardon?', <br />I said 'This place is England, what are you doing here?', <br />He said 'Ah, then I must be lost' and then 'Oh dear, oh dear'. <br /> <br />'I should be back in Africa, on Saranghetti's Plain', <br />'Pray, where is the nearest station where I can catch a train?'. <br />He caught the bus to Finchley and then to Mincing lane, <br />And over the Embankment, where he got lost, again. <br /> <br />The police they put him in a cell, but it was far too small, <br />So they tied him to a lampost and he slept against the wall. <br />But as the policemen lay sleeping by the twinkling light of dawn, <br />The lampost and the wall were there, but the elephant was gone! <br /> <br />So if you see an elephant, in a Jumbo Jet, <br />You can be sure that Africa's the place he's trying to get!<br /><br />Spike Milligan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jumbo-jet/
