Fashion-Forward

Elephants get cold, like us
So what, then, could be better
Than putting on a colorful
And hand-knit jumbo sweater?

Some villagers in India,
When temps got down to freezing,
Began to knit so they’d prevent
The pachyderms from sneezing.

The sanctuary photos,
Just in case you don’t believe,
Show a fashion-forward elephant
With each leg in a sleeve.

I say hats off to those knitters!
They deserve to win a prize
Just for counting all those stitches
To create that jumbo size.
