Tall Story

"Excuse me", said the elephant
To the giraffe standing by
"Could you get that apple
It's really awfully high".
The giraffe looked at the pachyderm
And said with an audible sigh
"Of course, it would be my pleasure"
And inside let out a cry.
For this giraffe had great ambition
To be known as more than tall
But that is his life story
A giraffe is tall,
That's all.
