Poems

A Giraffe in the Bath

‘There’s a giraffe in the bath.’

‘Don’t be daft.’

‘I’m telling you, there’s a giraffe in the bath.
It’s got a cap on its head and soap in its jaw
It’s stolen your flannel and got foam on the floor
And what’s more… It’s got a rubber duck with it.’

‘No!’

‘So, what are you going to do about it?’

‘I’m not sure. You say it’s got foam on the floor?’

‘Yes, it’s made a terrible mess.’

‘And it’s using my flannel and soap?’

‘No joke.’

‘With a cap on its head?’

‘That’s what I said.’

‘And a rubber duck too?’

‘I’m afraid it’s all true.’

‘Well, it’s not such a terrible thing.’

‘Oh no? Just wait ‘til you hear it sing.’
