Line Gauthier Poet Monorhyme

Listen to poem:

Fran the Orangutang

Fran, the zoo’s favourite orangutang
   Was caught today playing with a boomerang
Later to onlookers she showed her fang 
   As she stuffed her face with banana pie meringue 

As one hand held on to the overhang
   From which she forever swang
With boundless energy Fran sprang
   And joyfully bells rang and rang

That night Fran got into her yellow mustang
   And drove to a karaoke and sang
Her words had the perfect slang
   Although most painful was their twang

As though Fran felt a sudden pang
   She ended with an awesome bang
Said goodnight to all the gang
   Can you believe this whole shebang

Caren Krutsinger October 5, 2018 at 1:45 PM I had to place this one right up front, because it is what my brain was thinking when I said PLAYING WITH WORDS. The under fire happened accidentally. I am delighted it belongs to you, Line. Line Gauthier October 5, 2018 at 4:25 PM Thank you so much, Caren. It was a wonderful contest and I'm anxious to read everyone's submissions.
