Sense Sonnet - Acher

Bye Bye Giraffes

The giraffe, a mammal most tall
And elegant as seen in wild,
In Africa by humans all,
But not many studies compiled.
Giraffes fulfill few humans' claim,
Carry no baggage, good or bad,
So conservation's no real aim.
Giraffes quietly decline - sad!
As savannah habitat dies
For human made "progress" to live.
No controversy - no surprise.
Humans will take, giraffes will give.

Giraffes with humans - loosely linked,
So just going slowly extinct.
