Elephant wanders around Rome for 2hrs after circus breakout
2013-12-09
[Pak Daily Times] An elephant broke out of a Rome circus on Friday, causing panic and drawing crowds of curious residents as she wandered around a northern suburb before being cornered by police, Italian press reported.

The elephant, named Mia, had almost reached a motorway exit road after two hours on the run by the time police caught up with her.
"Put the peanuts down and step away with your trunk up!"
The circus owners recaptured her as she stopped at a roundabout during a moment of indecision, the news agency Ansa said.

#5  "Causing panic" - D *** NG, that can't be, I know for a fact the Elephant was courageously fighting a giant alien beast from Mars.

The movie said so.

#4  Once there was a pelican
Who tried to be the Prelican--
No! no! I mean a pelident
Who tried to be the President--
He was clean and he could speak,
And jeebus, could he fill his beak!

Finally the fish fought back; his bill
Was all entangled on the Hill;
The more he tried to pull it loose,
The closer loomed the calaboose--
(I'm sorry! Did I slant this mix
Of Presicant and pelitics?)
