Gimini Giraffe

I once dreamed I had a pet named Mr. Gimini Giraffe
                 When I tickled his belly he let out a huge laugh
           We shared cookies and cocoa from a tall red carafe

           One day the mayor made me his Giraffe Chief of Staff
                  And Mr. Gimini Giraffe and I posed for our photograph
           The next thing we knew everyone wanted our autograph

           So we trotted to the town to send friends a telegraph
                  And got chased by all the giraffes who were rival riffraff
           When I woke up in the morning, I was standing bent over in half

I wouldn't have ever thought one could find 8 rhymes for giraffe, but you pulled it off so well. A great write of a fun dream! ~ John

This is SO cute! Love Gimini's name as well as the rhymes. ('Course that last line zinged a bit). Delightful! :) gw
