If I Owned a Giraffe, I Would Ride It Everywhere

If I owned a giraffe, I would ride it everywhere. I would fit a saddle to it and wear a helmet. I would ride around saying “good morning” to everyone, even if it was afternoon or evening.

I know what you’re thinking. Its tall neck would get in the way of me seeing where I’m going.

It’s okay, I would fit a camera to the front of it and wear special goggles so I could see via the camera.

I would also fit wheels to the giraffe’s feet, so it wouldn’t get tired from running around all the time. These wheels would be motorised and controlled via a special joystick.

Eventually, once the giraffe dies, I would get a replacement built out of metal. I would call it Giraffe 2.0.

David B. Clear, can you please make a cartoon of this?
