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
...
