ELEPHANT

If your stay must be short
The best way to see Heaven
Is from atop a mad elephant
Who stops for nothing.
As you race by, angels
Stop dancing on pins;
A few wave. Cats
(Your sister says there are
No cats in Heaven?
Tell her she's wrong. )
Leap from rooftops
Joining you for a bit.
(Though they won't admit it
They are secretly grateful
That you and your elephant
Have come to Heaven
To give them a ride.)
