The Okapi
I went to the Zoo and saw an Okapi,
Unlike the Hare, he did no hippity-hoppy.
But, like his cousin the Giraffe,
It truly had to make me laugh,
Its long tongue kept its ears from getting sloppy.

Drinking and Playing
Drinking and drinking Irish whiskey and red wine
They all thought they saw a spotted giraffe recline
Statistics say play
Oh ya, come what may
then they started playing with a fat porcupine.

Poorly Giraffe
Lofty was a very large giraffe
he got ill from standing in a draught,
got a very sore throat
and sounded like a goat
funny to see a giraffe look daft.

Too Tall To Cross His Legs
Ralph the Giraffe to the chimpanzee
“Where in the ZOO do guys go to pee”
“All creatures kept in here
Are mindful of career
Just go in action packed mystery”

Monkey Business
The monkey’s brother said: “Mom’s gonna have a fit”
The giraffe replied “I’ve got the ring he must commit.”
They looked at her and said “WOW”
They looked at him and said “HOW”
He answered: “My brother put me up to it.”

Dine And Dash-Vegan Entree
I ordered my whole gourmet restaurant staff
to serve my pals Molly and Max Giraffe
I humbly have to admit
the vegan meal was a hit
The tall order sparked a jaffy good laugh

Forget Me Dot
There was a zoo keeper named Dot
Who lost things and also forgot
‘Now where’s the giraffe’
She asked and then laughed
‘Oh there you are; get in here Spot!’

Giraffes At Animal Kingdom Lodge
Giraffes at Animal Kingdom Lodge
A great, long neck had a tall giraffe;
And when I did see made me laugh;
Bent to drink,
Each neck link,
Always causing me to crack in half.

Just got back home after 7 nights at
Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disneyworld.

Giraffe Manor
If you're looking for a UNIQUE getaway, now don't laugh
In Nairobi, Kenya, there's a hotel where you can feed giraffes
Through your second floor window
No, I'm not some kind of weirdo
These gentle giants wait to be fed and pose for photographs

My Country Ballad
In my mournful country ballad I wrote
My heart's achin' like a giraffe with a sore throat
But when folks hear giraffe
They just throw things and laugh
Somehow I seem to have hit a wrong note

A giraffe so charming his talent quite nifty

Lower branches on his knees

Reindeer Games
A Great, Red-Nosed Elf howled a Laugh,
That split the Zoo's Christmas in half!
the Reindeer got tangled
(he too steeply angled)
...they got strung up on a Giraffe!

Love Those Open Windows
Though this small appetizer’s delish,
through the next open window, we wish
to claim grass, leaves, and seeds.
That’s what each giraffe needs.
Through some windows, we see pork and fish!

There once was a mother giraffe,
Snuck in for a snack with her calf;
“The service is slow,
The food’s just so-so,
We’ll leave leaves as tip, for a laugh!”

There was a giraffe named Wot
Who got his neck tied into a knot
The animals laughed
At this silly giraffe
How shorter Wot's neck had got

Outstanding manners we will not let slip

Give us a trough if you want a good tip

A giraffe and another giraffe
Drank a whole load of booze for a laugh.
When they got to the dregs
It had gone to their legs.
They were helped from the bar by the staff.

But not even one drop

Giraffe Who Likes To Laugh
If a quaff were to be drunk by a giraffe would his long neck like to laugh?
Remember when there was a giraffe,
Who always did like to drink a quaff;
Legs were long;
Sand a song,
And when he finished liked to laugh.
Jim Horn
