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.
