The Smellyphant

Two elephants lie in a zoo,

One of them couldn't go to the loo.

He had a problem which needed to be sorted,

Everything the keepers did could not be thwarted.

But in the end the problem they did defeat,

By giving  him lots of fruit to eat.

Never give up and say that you can't,

Persevearance solved the problem of the smellyphant.

Shades of Edward Lear. Fun!
P.S. Unsure about the keepers - wouldn't they have BEEN thwarted by the problem until they latched on to the fruit cure? :-)
