The Walk of the Pink Elephants

Somewhere in the back woods of
the Hopeful Hills there was a road
that was paved with silver and gold
surrounded by trees full of diamonds.

At the end of this road was a Camelot
Castle wherein dwelled a King who
promised to save the World from the
tragedy of a financial disaster.

Even the mad dogs and the cool cats
hoped that his words were sincere
and true so that those in his Kingdom
could live happily ever after.

Today it doesn't seem so but it
wasn't that long ago that everything
in the Kingdom seemed to be peachy.

That was until it was revealed that
some sneaky rats had been stealing
gold from the road and secretly
replacing that gold with fools gold.

And what of the trees, those precious
diamond trees, surely they were of some
great value, until it was discovered
that the sneaky rats with the help of
some giraffes were helping themselves
to the diamond trees and replacing the
diamonds with cubic zarconia's and
dead bumble bee's.

Kind of reminds me of Wall Street...

Your political reflections are very creative, dear James.
Improvements that last need time.

Love,

James, now if only you were the king of Camelot! The streets would be paved with 24 karat gold ~ and no fools allowed!

Good poetic political summary James.

Time is needed for change but it might be gone too far this time.

It appears that you and I know what is going on, James.
