When I heard I was going to LONGLEAT
\nI just felt so good inside
\nBut now of course whats happening
\nI just want to hide
\nNot go out where the people
\nCan see me
\nJust stay indoors
\nFor my spirit has been broken
\nAnd that is just because<\/p>\n
I have been humiliated
\nMortified in fact
\nTheir arrogance and haughtiness
\nHow am I
\nto react
\nBe happy be contented
\nOr be sad and cry alone
\nI know I have supporters
\nAnd that seeds are being sown<\/p>\n
But its really disappointing
\nI anticipated much
\nThe expectancy was gripping me
\nI just felt so in touch
\nReality was going to be
\nGreat from now on in
\nI had won some serendipity
\nAt last I was going to win<\/p>\n
And then of course it happened
\nLONGLEAT let me down
\nNo elephant park a solitary
\nThey underestimate this clown
\nSo many corporations do
\nAnd us Ele’s suffer so
\nIt was gullibility
\nI was hopeful as you know<\/p>\n
I know a lot are fighting
\nFor me
\nThat poet seems to be
\nTuning in and communicating
\nAnd writing stuff for me
\nIts good that he is doing that
\nThe social media scene
\nIs what its all about today
\nAnd perhaps its always been<\/p>\n
Tweeting putting on FACEBOOK
\nEncouraging animal rights
\nTo get involved its a good thing
\nBecause honestly the nights
\nAre lonely here stuck in this place
\nI imagine whats gone before
\nThere are noises strange weird noises
\nFrom underneath the floor<\/p>\n
What is LONGLEAT doing
\nGetting me a friend
\nSurely it won’t break the bank
\nAnd the message it will send
\nTo all of LONGLEATS customers
\nThat its surely the way
\nBecause they can’t be happy
\nReally now can they?<\/p>\n
I am hopeful of a change of heart
\nA labyrinth may be
\nIn many ways all of this
\nIs total intricacy
\nIt is you know
\nAnd the Marquess of Bath
\nShould really understand
\nShould affirm the need for
\nAnother soul
\nWhich would be entirely grand<\/p>\n
Faith restored a kind of cure
\nProsperity would come
\nAn honest panacea
\nA great healing for some
\nA gift perhaps the antidote
\nTo improve the energy
\nPossibly some sponsorship
\nOr reciprocity<\/p>\n
They could put it on the internet
\nWe are looking for a chum
\nTo accompany Our Anne
\nOut there there must be some
\nelephant thats looking for a friend
\nTo come and be
\nLiving soon in LONGLEAT
\nNot that far from the sea<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
