Elephants in the room

political debate.

    Actual issues get discussed in a debate. Nonsense. There are cheap shots to be taken and grandstanding to be done.

    Dave - How do you feel when the comments stop being about your haiku so much as about the topic you wrote about in your haiku? A real compliment that the idea's delivery mechanism has become transparent...
    Just for the record these haiku are tough to get right and that you do them daily and keep them topical and oft whimsical.... Kudos

    And donkeys of course. Although I tend to think they are all howling monkeys.

    Hi Dave,

    Makes me proud to be a registered independent! Elephants ... donkeys ... it's all posturing and preening most of the time.

    Um... I don't know.
    Aren't actual elephants supposed to be incredibly intelligent?

    All
    Thanks again, everyone.
    Agreed, jinksy.
    Not sure I get the tea reference...
    Many thanks for your second observation, Carl. Good point.
    Not sure which I prefer, donkeys or howling monkeys.
    Yup, cute and cuddly does it for me!
    Any time, Kass.
    They be hiding beneath you cocktail cabinet m'dear.
    Take your point Helen , elephants don't preen a lot - do they?
    Good thinking Ronda
    Memorable, I think!
