Explore "The Untutored Giraffe" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A child at school who fails to pass / Examination in his class / Of Natural History will be / So shaky in Zoölogy, / That, should he ever chance to go / To foreign parts, he scarce will know / The common _Mus Ridiculus_ / From _Felis_ or _Caniculus_.
And what of boys and girls is true / Applies to other creatures, too, / As you will cheerfully admit / When once I've illustrated it.
