Hello all, I'm new to The Cellar, but I've been following TINP for quite some time.. I thought I would try to throw out some insight and see if anyone can run with it.. TINP gave out this little hint on the TINP forum.

A vanishing elephant caresses with it's feet.
Took a penny.
Jobes wife was plagued by runners and a hose.
A speeding cop made us, with a laundry man on his toes.

Kris said that this clue gives the answer to "Frankenstein now, Yuki's bird."
I notice many lines in this little pseudo-poem relate VERY closely to a song by Little Jimmy Dickens called "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose." Here are some lyrics that relate to the poem..
One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup I did drop it
I heard him say as I made my retreat

CHORUS
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"

The laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me I came a-runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
I heard him sayin' as I turned to go

CHORUS

I was way behind one day to catch the train
Taxi driver said "We'll make it just the same"
The speed cop made it with us
And as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change

Kris thinks I may be the only person to notice that connection.. But I can't grasp a un/pw from it. I wanted to let you folks know so you guys could try to figure out what I couldn't. Hope this helps. See ya.
