Cheering an Elephant

You will gather
 When an elephant,
Begins to sneeze
 Deliberately,
He's wanting someone's
 Sympathy,
Because he's feeling
 Sad,
So talk to him
 Quite tenderly,
And say to him
 You quite agree,
If he mentions things
 Important,
That seem so
 At the time,

Offer him 
 A cup of tea,
A peace of bread 
 Or cake,
And if he starts
 To wander off,
Insist that he should 
 Stay,
So if you see 
 An elephant
Who's looking rather sad,
 Perhaps this little
Remedy,
 Will cheer him up 
A spell.
