I Wish I Was

I Wish I Was

You know if I were an animal
I'd wish that I was
I wish I was a giraffe
For only then I could eat of the fruit trees and not grass
I'd wish that I was cause I could laugh
I'd wish that I was cause I would  have extremely long neck and legs
Automatically be tall ready for basket ball
I wish I was a giraffe
So that I'd be at grandstaff
I will have horn-like ossicones
Atop my head making me so handsome
Belly laugh up to the skies I'll have a  distinctive coat pattern
Make established social hierarchies through "necking"
No I don't mean kissing
I wish I was a giraffe
So that I'd be above the garbage
I will inhabit savannahs and woodlands
Gallop and graze in the gardens
If I were a giraffe I'd intrigued various cultures
Both ancient and modern
So that I'd be at grandstaff
I'd stretch my neck out, and be proud bout' it
For its peculiar appearance I will be tall “N” perfect
Imagine that...
I wish I were  a giraffe
