Best Giraffes Poems

I've never seen a more comical face
than that of a giraffe begging for corn.
Its black tongue makes it look like a nut-case,
as its eyes stare down with an air of scorn.

Giraffes have a long triangular head
that sits high atop a serpentine neck.
And yes, they get...

Great are the savannahs
It's amazing to see them
Right where you always roam
Always in search of food
From the treetops you look down
Far and wide is your sight
Every step you take is tall
So much taller than I...

A banquet for our eyes.

And yet today I read that they
Are sadly dying out,

Giraffes communicate in tones
Too low for us to hear what they say
They nap two minutes at a time
To watch for predators night and day

Moisture comes from plants, their only food
They may not drink for more...

and at food on your table they peer -
close that window before
your nice meal they explore
with long tongues that make food disappear!...

The two giraffes lean over and lick.
Well, this is not the dinner we pick.
How about chocolate cake?

We giraffes took over the elementary school on Monday.
The children cheered when we declared it a fun day.
Yes, they screamed, laughed and high-fived in a weird way.
They stacked the chairs and desks and proceeded to play.

S.W.A.T. came by but they were dispatched to a bay.
“They...

I took a donkey 
Over the border from 
Nepal into India
In Calcutta 
I had tea
When the hotel
Proprietor after checking out
Asked; me 'Any tips?'
I misunderstood & said
'No need.'...

Two giraffes went out walking side by side
Spied a dina with windows open wide
There was food on the table 
With long necks they were able
To eat and drink until giraffe-ified....
