THE ELEPHANT AND THE MONKEY

An elephant gave

It gave so much money

So much money to buy monkey’s loyalty

Spider looked on and laughed

II

The elephant did things

And monkey kept watch

Kept watch on trees close

As lion lost so much on its farm

III

Lion offered a reward

A reward for the one who unveiled its thief

The thief running down its farm

No faces were seen but elephant was busted

IV

So spider saw how monkey spent

And knew it was a surprising spending

Spending reward exchanged for loyalty

And whispered into elephant’s ears

VI

When monkey was chased

By angry elephant

It climbed an obscure tree

Only getting down when need be, in tact

VII

So buy, just buy loyalty

Buy loyalty with all your money

Buyers have assurers?

Maybe, maybe not, but by all means buy

Do buy loyalty
