There is a pink elephant in the room. It is leaving me tongue-tied.

Further avoidance of obvious presence felt may result in awkward and quirky behavior.

How do I address this problem? Surely a reaction from it is required, even expected. Preferably soon.

It is not a sad elephant, nor a raging one. It is rather an abashed pink elephant who is feeling a little stupid, with a slightly hurt pride, and who is not quite sure what to do.

What reaction acknowledging this oddly felt presence is appropriate?

It may not even really exist at all. May have just been a product of temporary insanity.  Its presence may have only been felt by me, yet I feel the urge to react and get over this uncomfortable feeling and vent, if only to make myself feel slightly better about it.

I have never experienced this before.

Should I hate you for seemingly ignoring it and post a tweet in scorn, when scorn is far from what I am feeling for you, if any feeling towards you are worth mentioning at all.

Should I follow your suit and continue to dismiss it hoping it will de-materialize?

Does it hold no importance to you? Is it not even worth your attention? Are you so used to seeing big pink elephants everywhere, in every room you occupy?

I am beginning to feel as if it is I who is the invisible entity. I am probably just a random thought, floating around the room, born out of a tiny spark, originating from whatever may have caused the big bang and universe to appear out of the empty abyss.

So I have decided. I, the inadequate random thought floating around your room with an odd big pink elephant undeserving of attention, will disappear into thin air, with the weird arrangement of words I have here, so written in my confused state.

This random thought and funny feeling, slightly nauseous and reeling, no longer exists anywhere. It may actually have never even existed in the first place. This assortment of meaningless words is nothing, REALLY.

It all has been sadly exaggerated and brought to life by your enormous vain ego and by the crown upon your head.
