Penny and the Arc

Penny and the Arc


A Silly Sonnette
By Izzy Sommers, MD


Because of elephants in cherry trees,
Penelope designed an elephant
For hanging up on all her walls, instead
Of pictures of her movie stars of yore.
In years to come, photographers who took
Her portrait to the public in her skimpy
Bathing suits, observed that more and more
She sought the company of elephants
And silverbacks instead of bachelors.
Suffice to say when she announced her thoughts
To have an elephant and silverback
Aboard her yacht, they quickly guessed that she
Preferred the manly type with tusks and lumps
That emulated camels with two humps.
