Ice Ivory

The woolly mammoth long ago
Went extinct but bodies do be
Found preserved under ice and snow,
Including tusks of ivory.
And so such ivory is sold
Unregulated under rules,
And some buyers are being told
Some mammoth lies and hope it fools.
Sold elephant ivory is
Being called mammoth as the source,
Thus spurring on the poaching biz,
More threats to elephants of course.

Let woolly mammoths rest in peace.
"Ice" ivory sales need to cease.
