Élan

ÉLAN

—noun,
dash; impetuous ardor: to dance with great élan.






















When I grew up, I thought “élan
Was some sort of moose
And could not understand why
People said I had it
(at home, pets weren't allowed).

They've explained and I think I have it:
It's the moose doing all the driving.
