GIRAFFE ...
GIRAFFE ...
For Eddie, Who Loves Giraffes
I've often thought it would be such a
laugh ...
To be a lengthy, leggy giraffe ...
With gangly legs, and only one bound ...
I could cover large distances, over the ground ...
I'd be able to see over tops of trees ...
And eat all the sweetest, juiciest leaves ...
(I'm also fond of a ripe banana
...
But you don't see those on the Welsh savanna
...)
With long, elegant neck, I could
see all around ...
But, I couldn't hide ... I would
always be found!
Yes....
To be a giraffe ...
Would be
quite a laugh ...
But....
If I had a sore
throat....
I'd need a l-o-n-g scarf ...
