Daniel Cwiak Poet Limerick

The Okapi

I went to the Zoo and saw an Okapi,
Unlike the Hare, he did no hippity-hoppy.
But, like his cousin the Giraffe,
It truly had to make me laugh,
Its long tongue kept its ears from getting sloppy.

Gerard Keogh Jr. May 13, 2010 at 8:34 AM Again, the ubique rhyme scheme is so peculiar, yet so essential to this form that I give you a high mark. Good work! Thank you and I'm glad that you enjoyed my humble little effort! Regards, Gerard.
