Enjoying your safari so far?
Is there room on anyone's lap
For a petite friendly giraffe?

His windbaggery made me laugh
Tales as tall as a long giraffe
I did not believe his lies by half
Deceptive as a spotted calf

sadly there were animals few.
Until we all saw,

Who got his neck tied into a knot
The animals laughed
At this silly giraffe
How shorter Wot's neck had got

The purple giraffe
Makes children laugh,
But don’t laugh too loud,
It’s not allowed,
You might wake your folks
With purple creature jokes.

I thought I would make for a laugh
A gift for my new pet giraffe
Well I tried and I tried
Persevered till I cried
But I finally managed a scarf

Premium Member A Giraffe If I Could

Yes I would be a giraffe if I could.
Walking proudly on an African plain
Eating leaves from the highest banyan tree
Flipping my idiotic looking tail

Those Giraffes

Once I had left my tea to cool
and two giraffes thought me a fool
they stuck their heads in
and formed a big grin
before drinking my tea. How cruel!

Giraffe long slim neck
Giant black tongue eats leaves
Beautiful design

Reticulated brown
Outlined in black background of white
Fights like a tiger

Long enough to make you laugh
Can stretch over the fence in zoo
To find munchy leaves to chew
Of it's length I'm not even half!

My name was called loudly; I did not fret
Until the class laughed

Who lost things and also forgot
‘Now where’s the giraffe’

There once was a mother giraffe, 
Snuck in for a snack with her calf; 
“The service is slow,
The food’s just so-so, 
We’ll leave leaves as tip, for a laugh!”
