Elephant in the room

[RhymeLovingWriter]

That is the best place to start, isn't it? With oneself? I'm working on it...every day.

I think the strangest thing is our capacity to ignore warnings, very few of us set a good example

A whole lot of "do as I say" and not as I do going on these days...by elephants and donkeys alike.

.
There was an elephant in the room
Why was it there, we did not know whom
Tried to sweep it out with a large broom
Unmoving it stood tall and did loom

We need to discuss must not assume
Does it skype because it does not zoom
Maybe a trunk call could we presume
Why is an elephant in the room?
.
Elephant spoke out a tale of gloom
Inside saving itself from its doom
Lost habitat, as humans consume
Making much waste, greenhouse gases fume
.
All the plastic will start to entomb
Will the flowers continue to bloom
You must change your ways and not resume
So said the elephant in the room
