A Wild Animal Personified

Gerry the giraffe am I
on tiptoes six metres high

In Africa I was born in the wild
& grew up there as a child

I went exploring as I was  very bold
&  now I reside in the English  Cotswold

I can easily see over my  stable stall
for it has only a ten foot wall

Everyday in my yard,I take tea
& lots of folk come to visit me

With my long tongue I lick clean my face
so some say my manners are a disgrace
