GIRAFFES

The giraffe is a high, narrow ami
NAL found in circuses and delirium
tremens.
It has a ten-story neck and no use
for it. We often wonder why is a
CRATES neck, anyhow. The giraffe
probably wonders, too. It's so long
the poor thing could choke to death
at one end and never know it at the
other. And it'keeps his head so far
from the ground that every time he
looks down he's afraid he'll fall of.
