A Giraffe and a Half

<i>If you had a giraffe<br> and he stretched another half …<br> you would have a giraffe and a half.<p> And if you glued a rose<br> to the tip of his nose …<p> And … if he put on a shoe<br> and then stepped in some glue …<p> And if he used a chair<br> to comb his hair …<p></i> And so it goes until … but that would be telling. Children will be kept in stitches until the very end, when the situation is resolved in the most riotous way possible. <p> Shel Silverstein’s incomparable line drawings add to the hilarity of his wildly funny rhymes.
