Bad Clown of a Chimp- Nursery Rhyme
At the zoo was a new chimpanzee
that the school kids were eager to see.
Though we looked all around,
he just couldn’t be found.
He was hiding high up in a tree.
When we spied him at last, we yelled HEY.
We hoped he would come down and play.
But he was a bad clown,
for the brown stuff thrown down
at the children I do not dare say.
At that clown of a chimp I could cuss.
He jumped down and through bars looked at us.
He then started to spit,
and we couldn’t take it.
Field trip done! We ran back to our bus.
