*this was formed after advice i gave to a buddy*

Life is like:
A large parade
You only get paid 50 cents an hour
For six hours you walk
Behind, an elephant
Now all you do is shovel
The elephant droppings into a barrel
you can't run away
you can't get over or under it
The elephant is so fat you can't see to the sides
All you do is shovel
The smell and taste burn your nose and mouth
Thats what life is like
it gives you a big problem
and all you can do is clean up after it

" I think I got a tan from the light in which i was basking."

Newsboys has a song that mentions scooping elephant dung... Interesting. Interesting analogy here, Malloree... I like it though. Makes you think, kinda... Your 'elephant' could be different things, depending on what's goin on in your life. Thanks for sharing!

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

If you like Newsboys, you should listen to some of the old stuff by Jars Of Clay. That stuff was poetry.

This was definitely a different poem.
But oh so true!
Well done!
