Best View of the Zoo

On spindly legs he stands so tall And calmly chews his cud He has a great view of it all And sits down with a thud He'll look at you with such disdain After all you're a human He's quick to size you up,it's plain This creature has acumen At rubber-necking he does rule And gawking all around He does while looking oh so cool And never makes a sound He is my favorite at the zoo So snooty and so sassy Mr. Giraffe there's very few I see that are so classy! **for Tales From The Zoo contest sponsored by Barbara Gorelick

It's quite a remarkable animal the Giraffe, it has the longest tongue of any animal on land, and it can eat prickly thorns, wow. Many congratulations on your win in Barbara's fine contest >> James

VERY cute, Deb! Who doesn't marvel at the beautiful giraffe. They move so slowly, so confidently and definitely seem "oh so cool." Driving through a safari park, I had one eating out of my hand through the car window. He tried to stick his head through the window but it didn't fit. He ate so gently from my hand. It was a delight to read your poem. Best wishes in Barbara's great contest! Love, Carolyn
