Notes About The Poem

Picture Prompt Poetry Contest Sponsored by Margarita Lillico 04/08/24

HIGH TEA

Two giraffes sought afternoon tea
An open window they both see
There is nothing finer
Than using fine china
The bonus is their meal was free!

It'd be quite interesting to have high tea with a giraffe... would I maintain my composure, or would I need to laugh? ;)
