The Monkey and the Giraffe

A monkey asked a giraffe

to a game of basketball,

the giraffe had to a laugh - 

"you've noticed I am tall?"

The monkey didn't care:

"I never miss a trick,

you may be tall and fair,

but I am very quick".

The giraffe again had to laugh:

"your arms are quite long

but you're just not tall enough

and you know that I'm not wrong".

The monkey was having fun:

"don't you worry, my dear,

after the game is done

I'll let you buy me a beer".

It looked as if the debate

could last the whole long day

but then the ball had enough

and gently rolled away.

and the games begin.
