a dog walked into a room
expecting to find an elephant
but the room was empty
no elephant
and no table the elephant might have stood on
or any table at all with anything on it
not even a flower
or a good time
or a hard time
or an impetuous insurance agent
or an instigator
or judgment day
or a king and queen enjoying a quiet cup of tea
disappointed, the dog turned to go
but the door was locked
and he had no key
he looked around
there was, in fact, one thing in the room
a window
with bars on it
and the sun shining through them
