THE BLINDMEN AND THE ELEPHANT by John Godfrey Saxe

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First called broad side a wall
The Second the tusk a spear
The Third the trunk a snake
The Fourth the knee a tree
The Fifth the ear a fan
The Sixth the tail a rope

Each disputed loud and long...
And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an elephant
Not one of them as seen!

Let’s remember the simply ludicrous Obamabots ( politicians, media and citizens) when the black elephant is in the room! No one sees his schemes or hears his trumpeting calls. Like the politically correct, euphemistic phrases now in vogue such as a ‘resource management co-ordinator,’ no definition from our bull leader on the liberal savannah fits that which is being defined.
