My pet giraffe is called Tiny
although he is extremely tall
He towers above a huge sunflower
that's growing along my back wall!
One day Tiny appeared to be poorly
The vet climbed up a ladder to see
He said Tiny had a bad infection
I must make him a scarf urgently!
So I busily knitted with lamb's wool
My fingers worked all day and night
I coiled the scarf up his long neck
It was perfect and fitted just right!
Tiny now wears his scarf in our garden
And it's cured all the pains in his neck
The vet praised me for my speedy knitting
My home made remedy wasn't hi- tech!
I’m thankful that Tiny is better
And we go out on rambles and walks
But if strangers see us out walking
their eyes often pop out on stalks!
