Eletelephony
Once there was an elephant
who tried to use the telephant---
No, no, I mean an elephone
who tried to use the telephone---
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
that even now I've got it right!)
Anyway, he got his trunk
entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to break it free,
the louder rang the telephee...
(I think I'd better just drop this song
of Elephop and Telephong.)
