Beverley Beps climbed up the steps
holding a sugar cube from the table
and the giraffe came out of his stable.
Hi, Giraffe, said Beverley Beps,
do you know what Mummy gave me?
Bright red boots for when it's rainy!
Can it be true? said the giraffe.
Beverley, Beverley, what a laugh.
Oh, Giraffe, said Beverley.
"I've got lots more I can tell you.
There's three letters I can spell too:
a b c - that's clever of me!
And I can almost tie my laces!
And I can draw all kinds of faces!
Goodness me, said the giraffe,
boy, oh boy, you make me laugh.
Hey, Giraffe, said Beverley,
do you think I could try riding
on your neck and then try sliding?
It could be fun, if you'd let me.
Sliding down onto the zoo floor
shouldn't make my bottom too sore.
Climb on up, said the giraffe,
Climb on up and have a laugh.
Here I come,
said Beverley Beps,
jumping suddenly off the steps.
On the neck of the giraffe,
Beverley Beps just had to laugh,
whoosh, and with a mighty wail,
Beverley whizzed down past his tail.
Bang!
Ow!!
Bye, Giraffe,
said Beverley Beps.
Tomorrow I'll be back here with my steps.
