“Short poems are anti giraffe” ~ the giraffe union

…
I have always wanted to write a short poem
a poem that will be chihuahua small
will have seven to eight lines
and not be complicated at all
not bound by bold or italics
or words that will make it too tall
but then i was struck by a thought
a thought which came with a huge pot
that if i write a poem so small
how will the giraffes read it !
They do have long black tongue which looks purple
and their saliva is antiseptic says Dr. Curple
but that wont help them read my poem so small
giraffism is all about big and tall
so sitting on a lime
taking a lot of time
i wrote a poem
which was big
and the giraffes read and liked it.
but now cats don’t like me at all
