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!
