Description

A doubtful friend is the Giraffe,

Distrust him when you hear him laugh.

He laughs like people at a ball,

And not because he's pleased at all.

He stretches out his neck like tape,

Until its length precludes escape.

And then he dexterously throws

The window open with his nose.

And if you hide beneath a chair

He finds you out, and pins you there.

(This original accompanying poem, pertaining to the image, will be included with your print. Firstly, a copy neatly pasted to the rear of the backing board, and a copy as a separate sheet for your reference.)
