Chimp Jim and Dandy

Once me and my chimp friend bald Jim
flew through a forest limb to limb
his opposable thumb
got caught in my ho-hum
thank God old Jim’s not real prim.

My name is Miss Fine and Dandy
Bald Jim often brings me candy
a banana toffee
always does it for me
and him, since he's oh so randy.

Awesome concept Debbie, watch that opposable thumb, ho-hum and a bottle of rum. Worthy of first I would say. Agape, Moses
