Today’s word is “ivory.”
Elephant’s Ivory
An elephant tusk is the first thing you see
When you pass by the place that sells ivory.
Its beautiful texture and wonderful hues
Makes poaching and killing horrible news.
We love what we have with that hard white plaster
But don’t think about the poor herd master
He’s missing a member of his elephant tribe
Because we want ivory, its sort of a bribe.
What can we do for more ivory to make?
Find a white stone and make it a fake.
This way we keep all the elephants alive
Where in the wild they can all thrive.
