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.’
