Eletelephony

Once there was an elephant,

Who tried to use the telephant.

No! No! I mean an elephone

Who tried to use the telephone.

(Dear me! I am not certain quite

That even now I’ve got it right.)

Howe’er it was, he got his trunk

Entangled in the telephunk.

The more he tried to get it free,

The louder buzzed the telephee.

(I fear I’d better drop the song

Of elephop and telephong!)
