The Brave Giraffe (A Poem For Children) Poem by Rajesh Thankappan
The Brave Giraffe (A Poem For Children)
(This poem is set in an African forest)
Once a giraffe
Set sail on a raft
Across a tumultuous river
To escape a hungry neighbour. (i.e. a lion)
He paddled with his forelegs
And boldly steered his raft ahead!
While the animals on the shore
Applauded him with a roar.
A pilot on a hovercraft
Captured this animal's photograph,
And thus this giraffe became renowned
In every hearth and home.
so famous that it can very commonly be sighted proudly
displayed on hallowed walls in many a home.
