Uncles, Aunts and Elephants

A timeless selection of writings from India's best-loved author

I know the world's a crowded place,

And elephants do take up space,

But if it makes a difference, Lord,

I’d gladly share my room and board.

A baby elephant would do...

But, if he brings his mother too,

There’s Dad's garage. He wouldn't mind.

To elephants, he's more than kind.

But I wonder what my Mum would say

If their aunts and uncles came to stay!
