what an elephant is like

Of course, by now we know what an elephant is like; even if we didn’t already know before.

It is long and rubbery like a snake…..

sharp and cold like a knife…..

smooth and flat like a leaf…..

round and hard like a tree…..

 high and wide like a wall…..

and long and thin like a rope.

And if I were to ask you to draw an elephant?  Knowing what you do about them?

  

Well…..

  

if that’s what an elephant is like…..

what…..

on earth…..

is this?
