Furious George

Furious George
was a monkey, so bad
He beat up his trainer
which made him feel glad

You can find him often
pitching a fit
But don't get too close
while he's throwing his ....

Then came the day
when a publisher called
to further a deal
hitherto stalled

But in the end
they rejected his story
and Furious George
left them just a bit gory

He was hauled off to jail
awaiting appeal
while his Curious Cousin
got the book deal
