I'm not Babar nor that circus trick Dumbo
and I'm certainly not the famous African Bush Jumbo
Finally after being faithful 100 percent
I have wings and I'm so elegant
I'm Horton the flying Elephant!*
*"I meant what I said and I said what I meant,
an elephant's faithful, one hundred per cent!"
Famous quote from Dr Seuss book Horton Hatches the Egg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horton_Hatches_the_Egg
One of my children's favorite book and author.
Horton and Dumbo are two of my favorite pachyderms :)
ReplyDeleteI love this take...

Children will love Dumbo because their imagination sees it as a reality.
ReplyDeleteWhat would we have done without Walt Disney and Dr Seuss!! :) Good recollections through this prompt today!!
ReplyDeleteElephants are faithful all of the time,but not some of the time when man makes him go berserk!!
Indeed this prompt seems to go two ways, to the deep and to the colorful. I am grateful Horton has chosen to appear.
ReplyDeleteBabar is my fave...
ReplyDeleteFun, Kathe!
