An elephant haiku

Vacation is near
You must remember your trunk,
says the pachyderm

Poor insomniacs
Sleep will always escape you
Just like free range sheep

Please don’t play “Chopsticks”
Your audience with thank you
They’ve heard it before.

Big man on campus
Letter jacket worn with pride
Do not peak too soon

Auger through the ice
Drop a baited hook and wait
Fish in your shanty

The zebra has stripes
Obviously black and white
No, they’re not subtle.

There is quite a buzz
Honeybees dropping like flies
How can we fix it?

Hear that kazoo song
One thousand ducks are jealous
Your voice is splendid

You are five days in
Are you still resolved to change?
Habits do die hard

Six strings. Make them ring!
Strum the chords upon the frets
Don’t get out of tune
