Vacation challenge

OK, so someone sent me this link and I honestly was flabbergasted. I'm not sure whether video can inspire you to write, but here goes. Watch this, then write about it; tell us what it made you think about, create a story, write a poem, whatever. Do it in the comment section so we can see everyone's creations. The challenge, of course, is this: Can you keep up with an elephant?

Nothing rhymes with orange

When in school you learn
Purple elephants don’t burn

Well one sunny day
I believe it was in May,

Or maybe it was in June,
I was listening to a tune

Walking down the street
Looking at all types of feet

I saw something that caught my eye
As I passed it by

It was a foot
It was not covered in soot

I looked up to see
What in the world could it be?

What I saw could not be described
This poem can no longer rhyme
Because what I saw
Was a purple elephant
And everyone knows
Nothing rhymes with
Purple elephant
And before I finish,
I must say
When this purple elephant came my way
I noticed that it did indeed
Unlike we read...
Have a burn

My Favorite Place to Go

When I travel, I like to go somewhere I have never been before because the world is an amazing place and I want to learn all about it. I have been to Canada, Europe, Iceland, many US states, and last but not least Kenya and Tanzania. My favorite trip was definitely to Africa. I went to Africa in 2006, my fourth grade year. The trip was not only fun, but it was educational, culturally diverse, and was great for seeing a different biome from the temperate forest.
