Magpie Tales of airborne pachyderms.

.

No matter how much you might try

To launch yourself into the sky.

You share the name ‘Jumbo’

With jets, silly Dumbo;

But they need four engines to fly!

Q: What does one do when an elephant is flying overhead?

A: Raise your umbrella.

Wait! There's more. 

Q: What has twenty-two legs, two wings and eleven arseholes?
A: Arsenal!
And... and... apropos of nothing, but to balance that weak effort,
Q: What has one eye, three legs and half an arsehole.

A: Lobster thermidor.
I will stop now before I offend myself. (Or feel inclined to react to the suggestion of climate change: coal fired power stations and sea level rise and the plight of elephants whose million year history will end because they cannot fly away.)
