The Giraffe and the Pelly and me!

We’re a fabulous crew,


We know just what to do,
And we never stop work to drink tea.
All your windows will glow
When we give them a go,
The Giraffe and the Pelly and me!
We use water and soap
Plus some kindness and hope,
But we never use ladders, not we.
Who needs ladders at all
When you’re thirty feet tall?
Not Giraffe, and not Pelly! Not me!’

I stood there enthralled. Then I heard the Giraffe saying to the Pelican in
the next window, ‘Pelly, my dear, be so good as to fly down and bring that
small person up here to talk to us.’
At once the Pelican spread his huge white wings and flew down on to the
road beside me. ‘Hop in,’ he said, opening his enormous beak.
I stared at the great orange beak and backed away.
‘Go ON!’ the Monkey shouted from up in his window. ‘The Pelly isn’t
going to swallow you! Climb IN!’
I said to the Pelican, ‘I’ll only get in if you promise not to shut your beak
once I’m inside.’
‘You have nothing to fear!’ cried the Pelican,
‘And let me tell you why.
I have a very special beak!
A special beak have I!
You’ll never see a beak so fine,
I don’t care where you go.
There’s magic in this beak of mine!
Hop in and don’t say NO!’
