Jargon jaunting: part B

the jinx on the mountain,
certainly reveled in hijinks
thunderous boom!
indeed did that loom
in the form of an
elegant elephant

pray, it was a
lack, to confirm,
to have fear of
this pachyderm

rather it was surely
a jinx of other breed
a wild hare or steed
perhaps sparked the
stampede of hoof
and paw, foot and claw

thus it was an avalanche
without a branch
to cause a stanch
to falling fur and
feather and scales and
shells and whether
or not they, the bees,
did as they please
above the trembling
trees, it has to be said:

they clearly caused
the dread in each and
every animal head of
a malevolent force,
besides the obvious horse,
which sourced the course
of the rumble and stumble
and then the... tumble
and eventual... bumble
of the beastly jumble

but the tiny bees,
yet not quite as tiny
as fleas, continued
on with their tease
for they evaded the
blame and guilt was
pinned to another name

for after the calamitous
plummet from the
high advantageous
summit remained only
one animal from... it

there with crossed legs
elegant sat the prim and
proper elephant with jars
of jam tucked snugly
in a push or pull pram

the bees hissed so and
the geese and snakes too
and it seemed as though
the rest of the throng
yelled out a loud boo!

regardless of the noise
and shouts hurled at
the seated elephant
the long trunk rose
above and served as
its own celebrant

of course the proof
was not in the pudding
as this case found some
place else for its footing

the evidence was obvious
unbeknownst to the rest of
us, there the elephant, sitting
most elegant, was dressed
from head to knee in a suit
colored as, you guessed it, a bee

and found in the pram were
not little jars of jam but rather
filled instead with honey and
on their way to be sold for money
yes the elephant wore black and
yellow stripes, but soon that would
be traded for black and white
as the pachyderm, with the help
of a law firm, was soon to serve
a rather lengthy prison term

it was found as well,
consequently while the
elephant was in jail, a
little needle that had
a tale to tell or even yell

for that is what it led to
when it was stuck in
the red backside of
one Mr. Blabby Baboon

and that first yelp of wild
pleading for help infected
the crowd with a whelp

the needle that told this
much told more after a
touch for a toe print was
found from such... a touch

thus it was found from the
needle off the ground that
the elephant's guilt abound
and instead of money
from stolen honey the
pachyderm, in a very
certain term, was far
from living free for
falsely impersonating and
criminal theft of a bee
