Crazy Harriet lives next door,
she screams at squirrels at half past four:
"STOP EATING MY SEEDS -- THEY'RE FOR THE BIRDS!!"
But squirrels keep eating (cuz they don't know words).
Have you ever met a half-a-giraffe?
Funny beasts – they’ll make you laugh.
They eat half their lunch, take half their naps . . .
but honestly, they’re lovely chaps.Now, half-a-giraffes have one big concern,
(and it’s something that I was surprised to learn).
It’s an issue that worries them lots and lots;
it’s where can they keep all their leftover spots?
My mom just bought a used car;
just for in town – not for too far.She said it seemed to be a good price,
and for the money, it seemed quite nice.I guess it was a pretty good deal;
the only problem – it’s missing a wheel.
