The Okapi

I went to the Zoo and saw an Okapi, Unlike the Hare, he did no hippity-hoppy. But, like his cousin the Giraffe, It truly had to make me laugh, Its long tongue kept its ears from getting sloppy.

Again, the ubique rhyme scheme is so peculiar, yet so essential to this form that I give you a high mark. Good work! Thank you and I'm glad that you enjoyed my humble little effort! Regards, Gerard.
