A giraffe is not a horse
of course.
But what if you could ride one and train it to pick apples?
You could saddle up George - you would name your sweet ride George -
and meander into an orchard completely unnoticed
and George would sidle up to an unsuspecting apple tree
and pull one off for you, turning his great neck
and making a loop of it
to drop it in your hand, and then
he would pluck another for himself
and you would wander amongst the trees
and the children and their grandmothers
nibbling your apples
and no one would really notice you, or George.
He would be a subtle giraffe,
standing still at times,
so still no one would see the two of you,
unless you happened to sneeze.
