ELETELEPHONY
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!)
-- Laura E. Richards (1850-1943)
And we would welcome any more ideas too!
"There are other winds in the world besides those which shake the fleeces of sheep and the beards of men." George MacDonald
I loved that poem, too! When I was about eight, I was given a book of poetry full of wonderful poems and illustrations. Elephony was my favorite poem from that book. Sadly, book has disappeared. I wish I knew the title/publisher so I could buy it for my little one!
