Spoon full of twenty five spices, two flowers, a shoe
And the tiniest elephant in the world
Entered the giant’s mouth
Sitting on top of the clouds
“Hault! Don’t swallow me
Please, don’t eat me
I am the tiniest elephant in the world”
The giant looked at the tiny elephant in his big spoon
Feeling slightly perplexed
Thinking he should give this tiny little thing a chance
“I am the tiniest elephant in the world
Oh if you eat me, if you eat me, if you do
You will be small too
You can no longer sit upon the clouds above the Himalayas
Looking down at the world moving in its mundane circles”
The tiny elephants voice echoed through the clouds
And the giant thought twice about his life
And slowly, very slowly, set the spoonful back down to earth
