The White Elephant's Burden (demo)

The black mirror pupils repeat "he da one," 
And now the elephant's job has begun.
With white wrinkled straw the water is drawn,

His canvas colored, his story is done.

Then petting each dog (that's fourteen plus two),

E. flew past the sun to look for what's new.

With bravest of moods he stepped on the moon,

Then opened his eyes and blackened his view.

An alien emerged who only asked "why,"

E. sang it a song: "just open your eyes."

At last they drank wine, played chess, danced, and died,

And when E. awoke, black asked "did you lie?"
