The elephant in Ecuador
Is very large indeed!
He will not enter through the door
It is by all agreed.
The elephant inside the room
Somehow needs to enter;
Perhaps we need to shrink and zoom
Until he’s in the centre.
And once the elephant’s in the den,
A great hubbub arises;
For we can talk about him then
In all his various guises.

When I was little, my dad worked for a department store. They brought elephants inside and to the 3rd floor to prove the durability of the carpet. I will never forget seeing them inside. That scene is evoked with your picture today.
