Giraffes

Giraffes are tall, sl long and linky, they never have a need for a big white hanky.

Giraffes

Giraffes are tall, so long and lanky
they never have a need for a big white hanky.
Their heads are high, way up in the sky
they watch pretty clouds as the pass them by.

If they need a drink, they don’t go to the sink
they reach way down, till they touch the ground
lap up the water, like a good giraffes oughter.

They have knobby long legs shaped like pegs
and look like they’re walking on stilts, not legs.
They run really fast and never are last
so you better not race with a long tall giraffe
or he’ll be the one who has the last laugh!

The Koala Bear

A Poets Corner Posted on by

The Koala Bear Some people think a Koala is a bear so here's a little story we'd like to share. born down under - that's Australia to us they climb large trees, don't make a fuss. Marsupial is what they are related to those kangaroos hopping around in the zoo. Koalas carry their babies in a pouch don't talk much or even say ouch! Have fuzzy ears and a cute black nose their color is grey and have five toes. They like to roam in the dark of night so fuzzy and cute - just seem right. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2005 ©

The Koala Bear

Some people think a Koala is a bear
so here’s a little story we’d like to share.
born down under – that’s Australia to us
they climb large trees, don’t make a fuss.
Marsupial is what they are related to
those kangaroos hopping around in the zoo.
Koalas carry their babies in a pouch
don’t talk much or even say ouch!
Have fuzzy ears and a cute black nose
their color is grey and have five toes.
They like to roam in the dark of night
so fuzzy and cute – just seem right.
