I had a purple giraffe
Its neck was long and graceful
And its laugh was so contagious
I could not keep the smile off my face
We would sit by the watering hole
And laugh and laugh and
Laugh
And one day my purple giraffe and I went by the
Cliffs
That No One Dares Go To
And She Whispered A Little Rhyme,
"What would
Happen
If I were to jump
Would my bones grow out
Would I get a hump?"
But I didn't laugh
I didn't have to
She looked sadly at the cliff
She looked sadly at the sky
She looked sadly at me
And then she jumped
There was no scream
There were no tears
There was just the empty silence of fear
Her neck broke so fast the doctors said
That she couldn't of possibility
In all possibilities felt any pain
And I know she didn't
But I saw her Mother
And her Father
And I saw myself
Maybe it didn't hurt for her
Maybe it didn't hurt
But it did
There was silence in the Savannah that day
And the day after that
And the week after that
I can see nothing but silence.
It is contagious
Just
Like
Her
Laugh
