i saw seventeen pink sugar elephants sitting under a chestnut tree i said good morning pink sugar elephants but they wouldnt speak to me each had two eyes but they couldnt see me there each had four legs but they couldnt go anywhere and so we just sat that early autumn morning sun not yet risen and magic everywhere i walked up to one pink sugar elephant asked why wouldnt he speak to me but he was a factory made pink sugar elephant given to children for treats after tea he had two eyes but he couldnt see me there he had four legs but he couldnt go anywhere and so we just sat that early autumn morning sun not yet risen and magic everywhere1
