The Shrew and the Giraffe

More shrew adventures!

A shrew and a giraffe met on a jungle path,

said the shrew to the giraffe, "I sure could use a laugh."

"The day's been pretty dull, perchance you'll make it shine?"

" And if you do, then perhaps I will make you mine!".

 

"Ah." , said the giraffe, ", so you too have heard the rumour

that I am indeed the jungle king of humour."

"Now let me see what I can do to cheer you up my little shrew

and should I make you smile, maybe in a while, we will be two.

 

So he took out of his waistcoat pocket a little book of jokes

hoping that in telling them, the shrew's love he provokes.

He read her one, he read her two and soon she was in stitches

and sure enough, soon after that he got all of his wishes.

They seem like an unlikely pair but humor knows no boundaries

Ah tis the product of a mind filled with nonsense Dave. Many thanks for reading.

Haha! Oh there is skill here. An abundance of on your toes being clever. From the title to the imaginative lines that tell a story. I like it and the title is one to remember.

Hello Duff nice to see you again. Thank you. This is one in a series about that naughty little shrew!

A nicely rhymed and entertaining poem. Humor always wins over the ladies. And wit of course. Enjoyed muchly.
