3.  NATIONAL POETRY MONTH - APRIL
A poem suggested from our Parkview WOW table

"DON’T GIVE A MAGNET TO AN ELEPHANT"
Don’t give a magnet to an elephant.
He won’t handle it with care.
He’ll hold it high up in the sky
and pull planes out of the air.
He’ll get it stuck to delivery trucks
and bicycles and trains.
He’ll cause trouble at construction sites
by sticking to the cranes.
He’ll magnetize the city—
every car, bus, van and truck.
Then he’ll sneak home to the jungle
and leave everybody stuck.
— Tiffany Stone
from Baaaad Animals. Stone, Tiffany (ORL book 819.126 STO).
