The Giraffe Who Might Be Lying
Im a gentle giraffe, who lives in a zoo
But I dont seem the same as the others all do.
When I was born, did they make a bungle
Which means that Im not like my kin of the jungle?
My brothers all shun me, like Ive a disease,
Since Im not very tall and I cant reach the trees.
But theres some sort of pride in the way that Im dressed:
I havent got spots on my fur, like the rest;
Im sure they look down on me, with high, haughty scowls
But Ill counter back with some gruff, grudging growls
So theyll cotton on, as Im raging and roaring
That Im not a creature they should be ignoring,
For my teeth are more sharp than the rest of the bunch
And I like to eat meat and not leaves for my lunch.
Another strange feature Id like to explain
Is my neck is all covered in hair, in the main;
Its always been like it, since I was a cub
But is that a reason to give me a snub?
I think Ill break off and stop for a pause
To think up another short, sharp, clever clause
About my appearance, which is quite a tale
Which I lash in anger, but Im sure that I fail
To describe myself fully, although Ive been trying.
Do you think that, possibly, I could be lion?
