Best I could do on short notice SharaRose...

Pink elephants in tutu’s? I think ya must be kidding,
But I do what I am ask, so I will do your bidding,
Once upon a time ago, they had a jungle dance,
The band made up of cannibals, and if you took a chance,
And did not end up as hors d’oeuvres, you just might up and see,
The lions and the tigers in a jungle boogie woogie
No waltzes for the zebras, they liked to shimmy shake,
With the twist the dance of choice of the mighty python snake,
Hyenas sat off by themselves, wallflowers one and all,
The graceful egret feathered white, was queen of all the ball,
But the strangest was the elephant whose tutu was bright pink,
I must admit the sight of her, almost drove the deer to drink,
When the elephant commenced to dance with a homely rhino,
The hippo asked what is that dance? Replied the pair, “elaphino.”

hehehe..one time when I was a little girl I saw a cartoon with pink elephants dancing all around. I think it was an old Tom and Jerry cartoon, not sure. Funny as can be. They were doing the high kick dance. That's where I got it from. I loved this. Here's a little something I thought of sitting here..hope you don't mind I add something..hehehe
Love,
Shara~

Pink Elephants dancing in a line
Would make you think; what have I been drinking. Have I lost my mind?
Pretty tutus all in a row
Who would have thunk it.. Pretty Pink elephants, puttin' on a show.
I don't know about you...I'm not really sure
But I think I'll call the doctor, and ask for a cure.
Elephants will wear pink tutus when pigs fly
But still I will be askin' myself why.




Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Tim, let me guess... the 60's were really good to you, weren't they???  lol

Seriously, this is as good as it is funny...
You more than successfully completed your challenge.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.
