sometimes we just cannot see the real problem


There's An Elephant In The Room

Do you smell that awful stench
Throw out the cage; get rid of the finch
Take a look at this messy house
Hamster, fish, and little gray mouse
Create the chaos in this place
Bag them, tag them, push erase
That will teach them and they will know
Whose the master of this show

Wait a minute; just get the broom

There's an

Considering how much room an elephant takes....
that's one mighty big problem Kath.

Hahaha . . Oh I just love this
wonderful poem about . . .
wait a minute There's an . . .
Elephant in the room . . .

HAVE YOU HEARD THE STORY
about the elephant and the
monkey . . . I guess not!

There was a monkey
jumping in the tree's
and an elephant was
looking at the monkey
in wonder and enthusiasm . . .
so the elephant blows
to celebrate the monkey
but he shouldn't do that

the monkey blow's away
straight in to an lions mouth
The elephant get really sad
and blow's in to the lions back

So from now there is
a very happy monkey . .

and high in the sky
there is a lion flying
with his outside in . . .

so what do we learn about this?
Look out when you are giving a
blow job, you never know . . .
what's going to happen!
