Elephant Stampede

~ Trouble Afoot ~
.
It was
A total mess.
I'll have to sue
To get them
To confess.
.
Trunks strewn about;
And every movement
Of foot often tells
There must be a ton of
Peanut shells.
.
Now where would I
Find a place to stay?
And who the hell
Painted my walls gray?
.
I should have
Thought twice
Before I called
To get rid
Of my mice.
.
So that's my plan...
To get one of 'em
On the stand.
And I can be sure
As our attorneys confer,
The judge won't believe
If the witness
Tries to deceive
With "I do not recall."
.
Now my home
Is in tatters
And, thinking back,
All that really
Matters
Is that I never
Agreed
To all the hurricane mess
Of an elephant
Stampede.
