To my friends at PoetBay...as you might imagine, I'm running out of
subjects, so you'll find this one quite a stretch ...

Giraffe-able
Giraffes are so giraffe-able
With legs and necks quite laughable
They peer down at us from way up high
With haughty heads above the sky
The long and short of it, we human beans
Hereditarily lack giraffe-able genes
Genealogy keeps us comparatively small
So, happily, we won't grow giraffe-ably tall
But basketball pros, those tall human beans
Exceptionally inherited giraffe-able genes
Their legs and necks, not at all laughable
Have made them all rich, yet not too giraffe-able
