This explanation follows Kathy’s opening comment. The verse was written over two years ago, and I have since edited it. It arose out of chat on ‘Easy’ about our favourite pairs of words. Mine were 'giraffe' and 'graffiti'. MizTricia-1 challenged me to write a verse around them. After I had met that challenge, Kathy presented the wonderful picture of the giraffe with its head above the clouds - now as an illustration.
