DREAMS IN SCRIBBLES

Two elephants big and small

One was loved by all

Kind and humble was she

Far more than you or me

With her friend she did share her food

To no one was she rude

All the others loved the gregarious she

Except one rather sullen he

He sat alone and quibbled all day

He only had impolite things to say

All the others neglected he

                                                    All except that lovely she  

He always scoffed and glared

She always smiled and cared

He often kicked and resented

Jovial things she forever said

Was it enough to transform he?

Or did he just keep on loathing all and she?

So, Mirror mirror on the wall

Who was big and who was small?
