Lets Set Up Ms Mosie
Her name was Miss Mosie and she was one of a kind
She watered her red posies, and she had a sound mind.
She is the only giraffe in the building, some whispered.
They tried to set her up, with old fussbudget McLispered.
McLispered was a horse, which was not the same at all.
At least they both have long faces, and they are tall.
She smiles at him sometimes from the window one said.
That is creepy, replied another, his name was Old Ned.
How could we entice another giraffe to move in?
She would be furious about it said Ratface, one of her kin.
They found a willing Giraffe, he was clever and tall.
But they had nothing in common, I mean nothing at all.
She was a Democrat, he said he was anti-vote.
She did not like sailing, he spent most of his time on his boat.
That sure did backfire! The neighbors readily agreed.
The next one they tried to match up was a fellow named Weed.
Weed was a bird who could not fly, thanks to a broken wing.
They tried to find another grounded bird, but was there such a thing?
The happiest thing happened, Weed and Miss Mosie found each other.
They live together happily, says her stunned daddy and brother.
