Size Does Not Matter, A Fantasy...

Elephant's love!
Size Does Not Matter, A Fantasy...
Ant and elephant fell in love.
Their messenger too was a dove!
Their love story went like this.
Elephant was the Mr; ant was the Miss.
Elephant was taking God for his evening stroll.
He saw the ant on the temple wall.
Cute and tiny was this minuscule creature.
He fell in love with this miniature.
Elephant went to dove.
His love, dove didn’t approve.
You are a giant?
She is just an ant?!
You will be a total mismatch!
Ant will be crushed by your slightest touch!
My size won’t pose a problem to her.
From my size, I will protect her.
Please, be my messenger.
Dove agreed to be the courier.
Ant shivered with the pleasant shock.
She could hear fortune’s knock!
Ant couldn’t reject.
Being elephant’s wife is a wonderful prospect!
But… how can I bear elephant’s baby???
Dear dove, it will be so heavy!
Forget about it, darling ant.
Please leave it to the elephant.
He will be the father?!
Why will he bother?
I can’t agree to this proposal.
It is a total dismissal.
Elephant spent sleepless nights.
No solution was in sight.
One day, elephant cracked the problem.
Fetus test will solve ant’s predicament.
If the baby is an ant;
We will have it only then.
Doubts and fears were cleared.
Ant, happily agreed.
For ever, on elephant’s back was ant.
Her kisses pricked the elephant.
Those pricking pains, elephant enjoyed and asked for more!
They were always on cloud nine.
In and out of seventh heaven!
Odd and strange, but true was their love!
God bless them muttered dove.
