SEE the Gi-raffe; he is so tall

There is not room to get him all

U-pon the page. His head is high-er —

The pic-ture proves it – than the Spire.

That's why the na-tives, when they race

To catch him, call it stee-ple-chase.

His chief de-light it is to set

A good example: shine or wet

He rises ere the break of day,

And starts his break-fast right away.

His food has such a way to go, —

His throat's so very long, – and so

An early break-fast he must munch

To get it down ere time for lunch.
