Giraffe Party
Why are we divided
And put in little boxes?
America is not a zoo
Of monkeys, bears and foxes!
Red and Blue and Black and White.
Who came up with these games?
Let's all be one and have some fun
Instead of calling names.
Elephants and Donkeys?
They're only good for laughs.
Let's all stand tall and have a ball--
Let's all become Giraffes!

Thanks for participating in Poetry Friday!
It could become
a boring game
If every person
Thought the same
Perhaps we just need
Equal sides
And work on growing
Thicker hides!
I sent this one to my mother this morning -- she is a giraffe fan, and enjoyed it very much.
Fun, positive poem, Charles!. Although personally, I'd rather be a platypus because they're made up of a little bit of everything!
Go, go, GIRAFFES!
