Tongue Sticker Outer - LP Zoo

I do stick out my tongue, I do.
Cuz that's just what a giraffe does.
I do it at Lincoln Park Zoo.
Cuz why? - that's where I be at, cuz!
My tongue is 18 inches long,
And is prehensile - what's that mean?
It means my tongue is very strong
To pull from trees the leafy green.
My tongue around the leaves does wrap,
And pulls them into my mouth, and
It is an awesome means to trap
Reluctant leaves, you understand!

And any thorns my tongue might hit
Do not bother my tongue one bit.
