Mr Giraffe
By Argon Opiyo
Oh, Mr Giraffe, you look down upon the world
You are taller than the bushes
You are taller than the trees
You are taller than the anthills
You are the first to see the sun rise,
And the last to see it set
Oh, Mr Giraffe
Mr Giraffe
What are you eating to make you tall?
Is it the leaves you are eating?
It is the way you are created?
You are taller than all the animals
Oh, Mr Giraffe
