There were once some giraffes asked to tea They politely accepted with glee. The butler remarked, ”Aren’t YOU tall!” For you, our chairs are too small. So they drank tea from outside — quite hap’ly

No...it was N/A'd . Not sure why. Maybe because it was a syllable or two over in places. LOL SuZ

Cute take on this photo, Suzanne... Though I'm not sure about that butler's cajones: He did not give the giraffes bib. Neither did he require that they use the dinnerware! lol. :) gw

Hi Gershon. Thanks for making me smile this morning. Maybe the butler didn’t have enough tablecloths to make bibs for them….lol SuZ

How cute this Limerick is, Suz! These giraffes certainly enjoyed tea, even if they quickly had to adapt. ~ Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Regards // paul

I wonder how many teapots to fill a giraffe, I do love high teas, Tom but they don’t love me.. No will power where cream cakes are concerned. In this case it was height tea. Lol Good to see you.SuZ
