Kudos to the thoughtful elephant

Every now and then, I listen to Gene Cotton's "Me And The Elephant."  As songs about remembering someone go, it's unique yet seemingly familiar.  Benny Whitehead's lyrics recall the fun time a person had with someone special during a trip to the zoo more than a year earlier.  The singer claims that, although most of the zoo animals have supposedly forgotten their visit, "me and the elephant, we'll never forget you."  The sensitive lyrics and an arrangement that reminds me of Jimmy Buffett's "Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes" are a pleasant way of honoring someone who is no longer nearby.
