Driving with my giraffe
He got in the car with a grunt and a groan
We buckled him in despite his loud moan
He tried to see out the windowed backseat
He kicked at my back with his big awkward feet
But his neck was too long and his back too wide
His four real long legs were bent to one side
I knew I should do it, just put down the top
But I’m afraid my giraffe might jump when we stop
So, no top’s coming down, the convertible’s broke
Now he’s given me attitude since the minute I spoke.

Nolcha’s prompt guidelines
Let’s send 2025 off with a giggle!
Write a poem of 10 lines or fewer that places someone—or something—in a delightfully improbable location. Think sharks in a bathtub, a dragon in a bar, or any unexpected presence where it clearly doesn’t belong.
Surprise us. Amuse us.
Happy writing!

Funny! I’m sure that there is a video out there somewhere of exactly this scenario! Haha!
