Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Last Elephant

There came the future time and place.

Extinct were elephants but one.

Because of thoughtless human race,

Species destruction had been done.

There came a traveler through time,

Sad over the elephant's plight,

And though too late to change this crime,

Chose to take a journey that might

Give this last elephant a chance

To live out life as nature planned.

The traveler took circumstance,

With the last elephant time spanned.

Last elephant did travel back

In time to live safe from attack.
