Conniving Giraffes

I've never seen a more comical face than that of a giraffe begging for corn. Its black tongue makes it look like a nut-case, as its eyes stare down with an air of scorn. Giraffes have a long triangular head that sits high atop a serpentine neck. And yes, they get disgruntled; enough said, they are known to leave car windows a wreck. Don't let its eyelashes play with your mind; it's batting them for food; it's not a wink. And don't think it's harmless, gentle, and kind; it's far more belligerent than you think. It stands aloof with a smug expression, impertinently demanding handouts. I don't want to give the wrong impression, but stay alert when giraffes are about.
