Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Irish Giraffe

One giraffe says to the other,
"Happy St. Paddy's Day to you."
"I come from an Irish mother,"
"Bless her heart at the Dublin Zoo."
"She comes from the Irish wee folk."
"Don't ask about my pot o gold."
Could this story just be a joke?
Giraffes tell tall tales, truth be told.
The other giraffe remains still.
No reason to stick out one's neck.
There be so many toasts to fill.
The world be Irish - what the heck!

'Twould be quite a phenomenon,
Be a giraffe a leprechaun!
