Approaching the Serengeti
Tall giraffes stoop to feed
On the small, flat, thirsty trees
That dot the yellow plain.
Above, the sky brightens
As the timid clouds are hunted down
By the golden-maned sun.
On the small, flat, thirsty trees
That dot the yellow plain.
Above, the sky brightens
As the timid clouds are hunted down
By the golden-maned sun.
