Gee the Giraffe Dreams Big

Give me a cozy armchair and my pajamas said Gee
He liked sitting on the savannah, pretending he had a TV
Why not get one? Asked the meercats, who wanted to watch.
Gee decided to turn his dream up a notch.

Maybe I’ll get a studio, with paints and such.
I could become a famous painter like Vermeer, a Dutch.
Or a space capsule, he said. I could be an astronaut.
The meercats sighed; but the TV was never bought.
