April the Giraffe

There was a giraffe in a zoo
Named April, and she ate for two.
For, pregnant she was-
Spectators abuzz!
And soon little hooves peaked right through!

In minutes he fell to the ground-
So perfectly healthy and sound!
His mom cleaned him well-
He stood- and then fell.
But soon he was walking around.

Though she and the Vet got along
Took care of her well all year long-
But touching her calf-
Scared mama giraffe
To kick him where kicks don't belong!

A mom is as fierce as can be
When guarding her new-born, you see
Although there is trust-
Hands-off is a must!
The price you will pay, can't foresee!
