The Low Note

Sinewy long trunks wiggling,

Wrinkled ears twitching

Who knew elephants could dance? 

But no one else knows why they are dancing.

A quirk of physiology

Endowed him with vocal chords 

Twice as long as a normal human.

But no human can hear the sound.

A gospel singer of renowned, 

Today, in the mood to show off his unnatural gift,

Hits the low-G imperceptible to humans.

​

The elephants love it.
