Hidden Word Squares#2: Can you find the hidden words to form a square?

A word is hidden in each line of the poem. If these words are found and placed in order, they make up a word square (in which the words ‘across’ are the same as the words ‘down’).

Example:

What gives a cynic ample food for thought?

To have repeated when the tempest howls,

This doom eternal, which descends unsought;

You can’t stop Reynard’s slaughter of your fowls

answer:

The first line conceals the word camp (in ‘cynic ample’); the second line conceals the word aver (in ‘have repeated’); and so on. The hidden words make the following word square:

C A M P

A V E R

M E T E

P R E Y



Solve

Why call an elephant Jumbo?

Are all the elephants fat?

Most have an ear that is floppy,

But none the less dear, so that’s that!
