rbu 573 -- ANGELA IN THOUGHTFUL LISTENING TO "Sorrowful Death of a Circus Elephant"

Angela Williams listened thoughtfully,
Onto so sorrowful my elegy.
Said Dr. Theresa de Langis there,
Whilst I was reading it so sad to bear.

I myself have lived a life so much sad,
Since I was known as a good-looking lad,
Two score years or so as of now,
Thus, so many sorrows as to know how.

The elegy is meant to mourn Tyke,
A circus elephant killed down on knees,
After her long life of abuse and more,
To serve human pleasure she was thus for.
