I caught a baby pachyderm
entangled it with string
I attached it to a finger
and wore it like a ring
I caught a baby pachyderm
to remind me of some things
the only problem I encountered
was a trunk of static cling
I caught a baby pachyderm
...Or did it catch me?
Author notes
I used the contest picture as prompt but added a picture of my own.
I haven't wanted to delve into a serious/dark write so this was a fun break.
