Sometimes logic can be deceiving....But there is balance in everything we do; and the simplest thing in the world can be most joyous to us.

Sometimes logic can be deceiving.
What meets our eyes
may not be all that it appears to be.
This is not about what you see is what you’ll get.
This is about who’s first - the tree or the elephant.

Is the tree branch weighting down the elephant?
Or is the elephant weighing down the tree branch?
If the tree is weighting down on the elephant,
then "How so?" – you may ask,
"It defies logic!" You may say,
"It’s impossible for this tiny twig of a tree
to weight down on an entire elephant!"

"Oh!... Perhaps the world is being seen
as upside down
by this elephant?" - I say.

"Disaster!!!!!!" – You may say.

"No!!!!!!" – I say,
"It all depends on how the elephant sees and feels,
for this elephant has good memory:
it remembers the time when he was small
he could swing upside down on the trees
as happy as a monkey almighty.

Now, defying logic…

It is swinging on that tree once again.
Looking at the world upside down is a treat,
for it makes him feel like a smart monkey -
Just hanging around, having fun.
He hasn’t got a worry in the world!!!"
