Anne

When I heard I was going to LONGLEAT
I just felt so good inside
But now of course whats happening
I just want to hide
Not go out where the people
Can see me
Just stay indoors
For my spirit has been broken
And that is just because

I have been humiliated
Mortified in fact
Their arrogance and haughtiness
How am I
to react
Be happy be contented
Or be sad and cry alone
I know I have supporters
And that seeds are being sown

But its really disappointing
I anticipated much
The expectancy was gripping me
I just felt so in touch
Reality was going to be
Great from now on in
I had won some serendipity
At last I was going to win

And then of course it happened
LONGLEAT let me down
No elephant park a solitary
They underestimate this clown
So many corporations do
And us Ele’s suffer so
It was gullibility
I was hopeful as you know

I know a lot are fighting
For me
That poet seems to be
Tuning in and communicating
And writing stuff for me
Its good that he is doing that
The social media scene
Is what its all about today
And perhaps its always been

Tweeting putting on FACEBOOK
Encouraging animal rights
To get involved its a good thing
Because honestly the nights
Are lonely here stuck in this place
I imagine whats gone before
There are noises strange weird noises
From underneath the floor

What is LONGLEAT doing
Getting me a friend
Surely it won’t break the bank
And the message it will send
To all of LONGLEATS customers
That its surely the way
Because they can’t be happy
Really now can they?

I am hopeful of a change of heart
A labyrinth may be
In many ways all of this
Is total intricacy
It is you know
And the Marquess of Bath
Should really understand
Should affirm the need for
Another soul
Which would be entirely grand

Faith restored a kind of cure
Prosperity would come
An honest panacea
A great healing for some
A gift perhaps the antidote
To improve the energy
Possibly some sponsorship
Or reciprocity

They could put it on the internet
We are looking for a chum
To accompany Our Anne
Out there there must be some
elephant thats looking for a friend
To come and be
Living soon in LONGLEAT
Not that far from the sea
