The Giraffe and the Monkey

by Daniel Thompson

Wherever we go.
Whatever we do.
Whenever there’s me,
I hope that there’s you.

Now, Money is Funny
it can make people odd.
You forget to be happy,
and you live for your job.

and fashion, is a passion,
beset with a flaw.
You can dress to excess,
but you’ll always need more.

and a muscle toned body,
may sound like a dream.
But no body is better,
than chocolate ice cream.

What I’m trying to say,
is that happiness grows.
Not through your wages,
or body or clothes

But in laughter and love,
and in sharing your life.
In the arms of another,
as husband and wife.

So when you find someone,
who’s weird just like you.
Who laughs when you’re stupid,
and who makes you laugh too.

When you sit on the sofa,
not hiding your flaws.
As imperfectly perfect,
as the hand that holds yours.

When the fortune of kings,
or purse of a beggar.
Won’t change how it feels,
just being together.

When a cuddle and cuppa
is all that you need....

Well then..
you’ve found something
quite special indeed.

Wherever we go.
Whatever we do.
Whenever there’s me,
I hope that there’s you.
