Eletelephonyby Laura Elizabeth Richards
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant—
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone—
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee—
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

Love the pairing of the picture and the poem!

and i have to say, telephunk reminds me of the smell of old payphone booths. some of them were pretty phunky!

lines, so to speak.
