...perhaps Alexander sent the elephant under the influence of unwatered wine...yes... that's right... he was trunk and disorderly! Ahem...oh well... anyway, this is another original subject for a poem and I must admit, it is a piece of history that I have never come across before. As such, I found it fascinating. Perhaps the elephant was a birthday present? How better to get the message across that you think someone is getting 'long in the tooth'!

I wonder what triggered this poem? A poem in which you investigate your subject like a poetic forensic scientist and in the process, inspire the reader to become totally entranced. This is a highly imaginative poem, written with skill and wit. As for the subject - an elephant for Aristotle - now I'd like to see that. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
