Daddy Neck Stretchers

A long neck giraffe,
I saw at the zoo.
And I wished my head
could be up high, too!


Daddy, I asked,
Why is my neck so small?
I want a giraffe's neck,
long and tall.

Then I could touch
the sky so blue,
just like the giraffe's
with his neck-tall view.

I need a neck stretcher.
Daddy, please get me one.
To be high up in the air,
would be so much fun!

Suddenly, Up!  Up!  Up!
I felt myself rise!
With my head in the clouds,
I was no longer kid sized.

Next to the giraffe,
I sat proud and tall.
My daddy's the best
neck stretcher of all.
