The Giraffe.
SEE the Gi-raffe; he is so tall There is not room to get him all U-pon the page. His head is high-er - The pic-ture proves it - than the Spire. That's why the na-tives, when they race To catch him, call it stee-ple-chase. His chief de-light it is to set A good example: shine or wet He rises ere the break of day, And starts his break-fast right away. His food has such a way to go, - His throat's so very long, - and so An early break-fast he must munch To get it down ere time for lunch.
