Little elephants

I’m beginning to think two little elephants live upstairs
and they are trying to communicate with me.

It's the only possible explanation.

Sometimes it starts as a steady, determined stride.
Purposefully heading in one direction.
Clearly, off on another mission.

At others, I hear a rumble from a distant place.
Letting me know that they’re still within range.

Occasionally, the two young bulls engage in battle.
Scuffles and snorts but no real harm.
They’re just starting to make their way in the world.

But often, and usually very early on a Saturday,
they'll be thunderous stomps directly overhead.
I think they're trying to tell me, life's too short to spend it in bed.

I’m fairly certain two little elephants live upstairs.
Their names are Ben and Toby.
