Animal Poems / Rhymes
The Elephant by Hilaire Belloc
When people call this beast to mind
They marvel more and more,
At such a little tail behind
So large a trunk before.
Next week we will be sharing animal poems and rhymes.

Giraffes by Mary Ann Hoberman
I like them.
Ask me why.
Because they hold their heads up high.
Because their necks stretch to the sky.
Because they're quiet, calm and shy.
Because they run so fast they fly.
Because their eyes are velvet brown.
Because their coats are spotted tan
Because they eat the tops of trees.
Because their legs have knobbly knees.
Because
Because
Because. That's why.
I like giraffes.
