<p>Now this is the tale of an elephant named Max,<br />
Who one day decided to send out a fax!<br />
A fax is like email, but you have to use paper,<br />
So settle down and listen to this heart-warming caper!</p>
<p>So Max left his house and he walked down the road,<br />
But he hadn&#8217;t gone far, when he met his friend Toad!</p>
<p>&#8220;So where are you going?&#8221; The Toad asked our Max,<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m going,&#8221; Max told him, &#8220;To send off a fax!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;A fax?&#8221; Toad exclaimed, &#8220;Why not send a letter?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Because,&#8221; Max explained, &#8220;A fax is much better!&#8221;</p>
<p>So Max kept on walking, along down the street,<br />
And soon he discovered, a Mouse at his feet!</p>
<p>&#8220;Good Day!&#8221; Said the Mouse, &#8220;Where are you off to Max?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m going,&#8221; Max told Mouse, &#8220;To send off a fax!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;To fax?&#8221; The Mouse cried, &#8220;Is email not good?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It may be,&#8221; Max muttered, &#8220;But I never would!&#8221;</p>
<p>So Max kept on walking and left Mouse behind,<br />
The thought of his faxing was filling his mind!</p>
<p>Soon Max reached his office, and found the machine,<br />
But the machine was all dusty, so he gave it a clean!<br />
He wrote out in his fax, in a clear memorandum,<br />
Then he sent out his fax, to people at random!</p>
<p>If you think this story, was funny and good,<br />
It wasn&#8217;t, the last verse doesn&#8217;t rhyme!</p>
