All Powerful Giraffe

She was a powerful giraffe, all proud and tall I saw her strength, and I stood in awe Her height was noticeable even before I noticed She was eating a cloud with her right jaw. Sure, he said, staring into my eyes. He did not believe me, no big surprise. I was a storyteller from way back, but I’m telling you this for a fact. She was a force to be reckoned with, I’m not lying. giraffe queen. Commanding attention without trying. I will never forget that summer August day in sixty-five When I watched this mama giraffe pull a cloud from the sky. Okay, I can tell by your eyes you are not easy to fool. I’m telling you though, this happened, I saw it in school. I was looking out the window, not doing any math When I saw this unbelievable wonderful powerful giraffe.
