A Giraffe

Somewhere, near the lake Chad an exquisite Giraffe has a walk ... Nikolai Gumilev (the great Russian poet) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Giraffe One day a tipsy Giraffe visited me. He craned his neck at my chandelier, He left dirty traces on my floor. He said: "I' ve brought the wine "Risling", Drink it with me. I felt so lonely today under this cold rain, He was not as exquisite, as a count, And he was not from the lake Chad, He was just my friend, the lonely Giraffe , And I was very glad to see him!
