Giraffe on my staff
By Joe Pivetti

I said to my fellow explorer, Named Rufius Grover, “If I had a giraffe on my staff He could see over the hills and the tall trees, Right past the forest and out to the sea. We could forget about compasses, maps, and tree climbers. Say, what could be finer?” “Oh no,” corrected my chief scout R. Grover, “I doubt he would lead us to civilization, More likely a big stand of tallus leafumdom.” “Okay I said” as I thought, One thing is for sure, If I replaced my lead scout, With a giraffenous heard, I finally could get out With the very last word!
