Ha Ha Ha, ohhh now that one IS funny! I can't believe you used the gorilla picture for your poem, how hilarious! And he eats the yellow flower to boot! I agree with Sara though, hummingbirds are very strong creatures! They can avoid almost anything with their stunning speed! Anyway, your write is a terrific one, and I love your poem a lot! Great Work!!

Cute one..I really don't think that gorilla would scare the hummer though for they are tough ..nine feet tall and bullet proof..Sara ...Thanks for stopping by..I am glad that you enjoyed some of my work..Sara
