A Tricky Pet

I do so love giraffes,

They’re wonderful and tall.

If I had a friend who was one,

I think we’d have a ball.

 

I do so love giraffes,

They have a coat of spots.

And if one would let me,

I’d comb their coat of dots.

 

I do so love giraffes,

They have a purple tongue.

I’d like to have a pet one,

Whether old or young.

 

I do so love giraffes,

It could live in my back yard.

But that, I suppose,

Might prove a little hard.

 

So instead,

I have a cat.

And although it’s very short,

I suppose I’m alright with that.
