Ever wondered how Hannibal managed to bring African Elephants over the alps in order to invade Italy?
The thing is, that he used Pygmy Elephants
They do love the sea, the trip to Spain, was easy sailing indeed
And how they took to Sangria
Pygmy elephants are skilled skiers, crossing the alps a mere trifle
And they do enjoy a good after ski
Defeating the Romans was made by the ingenuity of Hannibal, unrivaled then as now
And for enjoying the spoils of war, well pygmy Elephants have made an art of it.
I'm taking a blogg break, will be back on Monday or tuseday.
