The Giraffe

The Giraffe
-- by Don Mulford - Copyright 2000 --
Giraffes are lucky they're so tall;
They make us humans feel so small.
They simply look down on us all.
Those elegant giraffes.

They'll eat the leaves from topmost bough,
Which only lengthy necks allow,
Then graze between their feet somehow.
Those picturesque giraffes.

But one thing we can not ignore;
I've thought of this oft times before.
How dreadful if their throats got sore!
Those lengthy necked giraffes.
