There's a giraffe in my bathtub
I wouldn't have noticed it lying on its side
Had I not had to go take a wiz real bad

The  soap scum, I understand
Lack of desire to clean around here
But the giraffe?

I guess I could blame Noah
But I fear even he would look in wonder
So, I wrote Anheuser-Busch,

For maybe they were to blame for such a sight
They responded that my inquisitive mind
Made for one incredible laugh

But the giraffe???

-------------------------------
(author's note: I later found that my four year old niece, Ariel, was the culprit of such a sight... Funny, I never had a toy giraffe when I was her age)

I once had a half-dead junkie in my bathtub, but a Giraffe? That would have been rather....off putting.

Good stuff, friend Purity

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

at least you didn't sit down next to the tub
and have a long, slurred conversation
with it
cos, you know...

Too funny, but such a great read!
Invite me to your zoo next time!
And you should frame the A/B letter!
Ark! Ark! Ark! I laugh
