GIRAFFA CAMELOPARDALIS

The tall giraffe

makes me laugh

with

his very

long legs

and

very long

neck

which must bend

so low to

get a drink.

The giraffe’s

neck

is so long

that food takes

an eon or so

to get down

to the ground.

(I wonder why the

heck!)

But I do know

why

the giraffe grows

high

as the

sky.

It's because

Of all those trees

That he must reach.
