in spite of the cold, trying her luck.

Who had a big problem. He drank.

Sumptuous Dinner

          Sumptuous Dinner

         Long neck , how to bend by pair of giraffes ?
          The task was actually hard, too tough.
                       But both became greedy
                         as dinner was ready.
          Sumptuous food , also more than enough.

and two giraffes thought me a fool
they stuck their heads in
