Notes About The Poem

Giraffe

I've just given birth to my calf,
My cute little baby giraffe.
He fell to the ground
With a gushing sound;
Nearby were on-lookers and staff.

I must say that I'm very proud!
So giddy, I could laugh aloud.
To see how he tries
A plan to soon rise-
With trying, then falling, he plowed!

Half-hour had gone by, then success,
The clapping applauded his stress.
So wobbly, but fine-
A great thumbs-up sign!
My calf, I bent down to caress.

The humans who cheered at the zoo
For my baby boy who came through
So quickly to stand-
From this- are they banned?
Not standing for months is cuckoo!
