Left Behind


Coats and caps and cameras, carriers and keys
Purses, gloves, umbrellas - there are lots of these
Parcels wrapped in cellophane, paper bags and macs
left by folks in taxi cabs or on luggage racks.
Travel on a train or bus. Travel on a plane
Articles are always lost, time and time again
Reasons for forgetfulness aren't too hard to find
Either you are hurrying or something's on your mind
That is why the elephant is unique, you know
He's no problems on his mind and he goes so slow!
