Herd Instinct

The giraffe in the garage gave a wide berth to
the alligator in the bath, as it ignored
the fly in the soup that avoided
the kudu in the corridor running from
the leopard on the landing slipping quietly past
the hippo in the hall, but none of them noticed
the elephant in the room.

    Fun though!
