There is an Elephant, His Name is Brent,
Brent lives in a house, with a very cheeky Mouse,
The house is made of cement,
but it didn't cost them a single cent.
Brent is poor, he can’t even afford a door,
thats how the mouse got in,
and now he lives in the rubbish bin.
One day Brent went out,
because he got a sore spout,
he got into a boat,
to sail across the city moat.
but he did not reach the shore,
the boat had sunk so
there was a boat no more. Brent had sunk,
but he was still breathing through his trunk.
when he reached the land,
no one gave him a hand.
Brent gambled for cash,
then the tattslotto said he won a stash.
Brent was poor, but not any more.
Him and the Mouse sold there
old House, a mansion they bought, it even had an airport.
And so in the end, Brent and the Mouse both got a girlfriend,
So in that home, Brent and Mouse were happy to the bone.
