This is like – If Tracy Emin could actually tell a story.
Both funny and grim, and a bit like an elephant image in itself, because the reader can interpret it any number of ways.

Lovely and macabre (or funny, depending on the reading). The elements open to interpretation make this one, and it’s very re-readable for that reason.
