I have this Giraffe named Wallace P. Hobble.
He just stands there and stares
So I don’t even bother
To feed him, or clean him, or take him on walks
Even though I know he’d like a day out in the park.
Wallace P. Hobble is very low maintenance
I don’t have to wash, dress, or even train him!
No tinkles, no lice, and no thinking twice
Of whether or not he’s lonely at night.
No barks, no howls, no growls and no meows
Just silence ever comes out of his mouth.
I guess I would play with him if I could,
But I guess I should mention
He’s made out of wood.
