the curious shop's owner sat down his little elephant of jade
sir we have something precious to trade
yes! says the curious little shop's owner, let's take a look
after marking 379 in his accounting book
as he opened the case
with a startled look on his face
the owner backed away from them
oh sir and madame!
you must quickly leave from here
upon his face was a look of fear
asked the well dressed lady of wealth
who didn't seem to be in good health
What can I do with my African elephant ivory?
sir and madame this is my advisory
tie it up in a sack
and take the ivory back
whoever buys this ivory will be cursed
an elephant curse is the worst!
as they were on their way to leave
the shops owner gave a sigh of relief
then he says, wait right there stop!
and the owner of the curious little shop
went to his desk for a look
when returning with an antique book
he says read this and follow all directions
even to the t, follow all instructions
to remove the elephant's curse
you will need a wizard's potion and a nurse
sir and madame, good luck and good day
go now and be on your way!
