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.
Tears run down the cheeks watching the event,
That's been shared with much sorrow to comment,
No heart is not unbroken when to see,
The tragic death of the pach'derm, Tyke.
