High As an Elephant's Eye

Oh what a beautiful morning .....
Oh what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling
Everything is going my way

Hang on, I feel a song coming on


There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
Aukje (l), Tara's sister and Jeppe, Tara's daddy

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
And the corn is as high as an elephant's eye
SSCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEECH!!!!!

We're coming to a screeching halt here cos The corn is as high as an elephant's eye?
Firstly, that's a bit of a stretch that whole elephant's eye thingy, isn't it? Secondly: someone was probably very high when he wrote that and it wasn't the corn. And thirdly: that must have been one great big whoppingly tall elephant. On stilts!
Because look at my corn, it's about 3 1/2 meters (11.48 feet) high now and it's still doing the climbing clear up to the sky thingy.
But it certainly is a beautiful day.

Oh, and if you didn't play the vid you missed out on Hugh Jackman belting out this song (and I do mean belting and BTW did I mention that someone should put the poor man out of his misery and tell him what a microphone is for because he's LOUD!). And he's got a perm! For some reason I don't think only the ol' Weepin' Willer is laughing at him but a little brown maverick is certainly winking her eye. ;-)
