It may seem quite a plus
to have legs as long as us
But please take time to pause,
there are lesses as well as mores
In a crowd, over heads you can see,
trouble is that others also see thee
Long legs and stretched neck
allows you to see ahead to check
In a traffic jam, it’s quite handy
stepping over obstacles is rather dandy
Nibbling upon the sweetest leaves
reached without a climb into trees
Long legs can become a tangle
when others intercede or wrangle
When one can find a leg but not the others,
it’s hardly a star banner spangle
It’s ironic that a group of giraffes
Is not a herd, a flock, not even a paragraph
Our collective selves have great power
because over so much, we do tower
