The Elephants Of Brightville Bame

There is a town not far from here called Brightville, Bame,
Where every house was abstract,
Not one of them the same.
Elephants lived in Brightville, Bame but they weren't grey,
They were all colourful, every single day.
Eight of the elephants were very good friends,
But one of their friendships had to end.
Ellie the elephant was leaving Bame,
It just wouldn't be the same.
They had to move on with just seven left.
She was going to live in a town called Beft.
The seven elephants are throwing a party for Ellie,
It's going to be at a pool with chips, lollies and jelly.
They told Ellie to come at nine,
But Ellie still didn't know why.
When Ellie got there, they shouted "Surprise!"
They had a great time until they said "Bye bye."
Ellie then went on her flight to Beft,
And occasionally visited those she had left.
