This Giraffe*
Had a god laffe
When, up to his neck in a tree
Surrounded by leaves,he nibbled a few
Then looked across to see Andrew
And said,, ‘gosh, that boy’s as tall as me.’
Watch out, Giraffe,
Andrew doesn’t do things by haffe,
While you’re having your chew
He’ll grow and grow to be
Taller than the tree
And looking down on you.
+The birthday card was of a giraffe snacking from a tall tree.
