My Elephant is Missing

I cannot find my elephant. He must have run away. He isn't on the sofa where he promised he would stay. I've looked around the living room, the kitchen and the hall. My elephant is missing and I'm not sure who to call. I'll need to get a bloodhound who can track him by his scent, or hire a house detective to discover where he went. He isn't in the basement or the attic or the yard. You'd think, to find an elephant would not be quite so hard. Perhaps I'll make some posters, and I'll offer a reward. I'd make it more, but fifty cents is all I can afford. If you should see my elephant, he answers to "Jerome." Please tell him that I miss him and I wish he'd come back home. He knows the way. It's up the street and down our garden path. And next time I won't warn him when it's time to take his bath. --Kenn Nesbitt
