People With Extra Long Necks

Now here's an unusual sight, my friends People with extra long necks Much like giraffes you see at the zoo A really strange sight, by heck They drive convertibles for obvious reasons It sure ain't so great in the snow Their houses are rather tall and skinny How they sleep at night, no one knows There's advantages to having an extra long neck Especially at a sporting event Till the people behind start throwing things Which there's gotta be a way to prevent There's a pill that's just come on the market To help shrink 'em down to size But the side effects are quite disastrous It increases your bum and your thighs Now you can fit into a normal size car But you take up the whole front seat That sure is better than a neck like a giraffe That's ridiculous, for the love of Pete! © Jack Ellison 2012
