When Santa heard my Christmas wish,
His laughter made him shake,
But when I woke, I realised,
There'd been a big mistake!
You see, my internet was bad,
While Santa was on Zoom,
And now a giant elephant
Is in my living room!
"A fuzzy teal elephant,"
I swear that's what I said,
But he heard "real elephant,"
And brought me that instead!
They are the biggest animals
Of all that live on land.
He eats three hundred pounds a day-
It's getting out of hand!
He munched and crunched the Christmas tree,
and spit out all the baubles.
The mince pies, cookies, Brussels sprouts -
They all were swiftly gobbled!
At bedtime I was in the bath -
He came and drank it dry,
Then blew a soapy bubble stream
That popped right in my eye!
I tried to take him for a walk,
But he is ten feet tall!
He got stuck going through the door
And tore down half the wall.
I hope that Santa takes returns.
My mother's in a fume.
She won't discuss the elephant
That's in the living room.
