After the previous post and our discussion about Autumn the giraffe from the Greenville Zoo, write from the perspective of a giraffe.
You can be Autumn, the giraffe who the world is anxiously waiting on to deliver her calf, Walter, her mate who has been separated from her during this last stage of pregnancy, or the unborn calf who unbeknownst to him/her will be taking its first breaths in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.
Hello, Walter here, why are the humans separating me from my woman? I have the right to watch this after all, i'm the baby daddy.

DeleteAutumn here, the humans have made the right decision in my thinking. I am very sad they have separated me from you, but I believe you are not ready for the overwhelming time of watching me have a thing with hooves and horns coming out of me. Honestly, they say I do this standing up... How on earth I don't know.
DeletePoor Walter - but it was nice to see you looking over the stall at Autumn as Kiko was born. And you seemed to have taken a keen interest in the calf so far. :)
DeleteHi, I'm Autumn the pregnant giraffe. I have been patiently waiting to have this baby. I know that I could have it anytime soon so I've been practicing for the real thing. I don't know what their gonna name my baby but I hope if it's a girl they name it "Precious." I cant wait until my baby sees the real world. :D
ReplyDeleteSweet - are you uncomfortable with that 100-120 pound baby in your belly?
DeleteI aimlessly wander around, with the only company of a closed door and a pile of hay. It's been awfully boring in this small room, but this baby has been certainly entertaining with her relentless kicking. Or I think it's a girl. Or it might be a boy. Oh well, all I have to do is wait. Until then, I'll just munch on this hay. Munch munch munch...
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how boring it has been. Now that Kiko has made his arrival and it is a boy, are you excited? Did you secretly want a girl?
DeleteDarkness surrounds me. I don't know where I am, who I am, or what I am expected to do. But somehow, I know how to think. I have sentient thoughts, and I know that what's happening is the course of life. I'll see the world soon enough, but for now, there is only rest...
ReplyDeleteDun dun dunnnn
DeleteI love that you choose the perspective of the calf. I've often wondered what it would be like if we could remember our time in the womb. Wonder why we can't?
DeleteI am now no longer pregnant. Thank goodness! I think i could actually feel that baby's hooves and horns poking at me, trying to press against my bladder. My baby is just the cutest, so much cuter than all those ugly human babies! Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteHa! Human babies ugly? Well at least ours don't sit in a puddle of liquid for 20 minutes waiting to move. But, I do have to give you credit, that is one cute calf. Are you surprised it's a boy?
Deletei'm glad that baby is out of me!
ReplyDeleteI feel pressure as I somehow know that there are many awaiting the delivery of my child. I look down.....The ground so far below, I wonder if my calf will survive the drop. Gosh I'm hungry maybe I'll go eat something. Nom Nom Nom mmmmmmmmmmmmm hay. Maybe I'll walk around a bit, hopefully jostle this baby loose.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really understand the giraffe thing so I can't really write about it because I didn't really pay attention.
ReplyDeletei wonder how the father feels if i was him i wold be mad and i wood have fight my way throw.
