Poem
a bell would ring when it was time for food it was a depressing chime for for a gorilla named old grey who lost his teeth and had to take all his food ground up sweet goo one day the bell rang for the last time old grey reached up and struck it and put it a mile gave him a smile but shook a tree next to the pole and frightened owl out of his dark-hole a gull found the bell on a beach while on his quest for food owl had a flawless idea to find the bell and use it to fill his sweet tooth owl flew to a lake and caught a huge fish just before dawn owl then called out a free food song gull heard and carried his new found treasure the bell along he dropped the bell at owl’s feet and began to eat owl put the bell in a claw and set out to look for crow crow couldn’t take his eyes off the bell that glistened in the morning sun owl told crow he was to land on the old oak by a bend a bit passed the donut shop on highway 44 along the lake shore watch the big trucks go in watch for when they come out then fly as you fly across the lake where the road is twisty and turns are tight fly through the truck window grab one sweet cake the bell is yours to take off went crow across the lake not the sharpest stick in the pile remembered the oak and donut shop after he went a lightening 3 miles thought he was in luck when he saw a truck creeping along the turns crow’s mind on in and out one sweet bun go home and mount his bell in and out went smooth as silk but the sweet bun looked like false teeth and he had individually wrapped balloons stuck to his feet owl who-wooed and woo-who’d until he almost fell off his perch but owl was a good sport and traded the bell for teeth and balloons owl flew back to his home in the city zoo dropped the teeth to old grey who shared with his new friend owl his sweet goo old grey grabbed some tasty flowers and leaves with the new teeth in his mouth smiled as he chewed the next day two ladies sat on a park bench in front of that zoo one lady chuckled to the other that the grey gorilla's smile reminded her of a trucker she once knew
