    The Elephant
    The Elephant has what is known as a trunk
    Which seems to me to be misnamed bunk
    Of course its just an elongated nose 
    Which can also be used as a garden hose
    It's preposterous to call it anything but
    A large proboscis 
    However on the other hand
    A nose by any other name 
    Would smell as well

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
