Concrete Elephants Speak
OK. C’mon out of the water Hubert.
Seen below, the following concrete elephants are discoursing about the last Ice Age, the good old days, and what to have for dinner.
Gee whiz, Mom. Give a guy a break.OK. Just a little while longer. Meanwhile I’ll go fetch some peanuts and greens for supper.Peanuts!!! Oh boy. I love peanuts. I’ll be right there, Ma.I tell ya son. Back in the Ice Age Days, we didn’t have peanuts every night like you kids. Just greens. Lotsa greens. We were very strict vegans back then.Ahh. The good old days. An elephant could make a living back then. Didn’t have to do these concrete-elephant-sculpures-ouside-the-museum, stand-up gigs.

Love this post – I have a real soft spot for elephants…even when they’re made of concrete 🙂

Kinda frozen in time 🙂
Looking at these concrete elephants…i can’t help but think of what Elephants are called in my other language. These images are the true definition :).
Unlike regular elephants, who are renowned for their fantastic memories, the concrete elephants don’t share this asset. It seems they’re too dense.
I’m very sorry. I can’t help myself most times. I have a sickness.
I understand your illness. Do you realize how hard it has been for me not to say “Wanna hear an elephant joke?” oops…
