Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
I-loweer it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
