Theresa Stephens Poet Free verse

Glong, Glong, Glong

G..long, G..long, G..long,
It was so intriguing
The G..long sound
Trumpeting elephant?

No elephant here said..
Greville the greedy goat,
Sim the swaying giraffe
even Lind the chaffinch.
In deprecating way
Vee then laughed mockingly
Well, he couldn't help it
Being a hyena!

Exasperated Saul
determinedly stamped off
to ask Arc, the owl

He found him fast asleep
G..long, G..long, G..long
said Saul in Arc's right ear
Fluttering his feathers
Arc woke suddenly
Then eyeball to eyeball
Saul asked Arc politely.
"What makes a G..long sound?"

Silence was prevailing
until they both jumped at..
hearing the "sound!"
G..long, G..long, G..long!

Saul ran and Arc flew down
Here was the distinct sound,
which was getting nearer,

Saul's capuchin monkey
Kareen came into view.
Arc peered downwards
WHAT WAS ON..... Kareen's feet?

OVERSIZED GALOSHES!!!

G..long, G..long, G..long!
Was heard the flapping sound
As Kareen, head held high,
nonchalantly strolled by

Saul and Arc exchanged looks
Arc's disapproving one
with Saul's embarrassment
glowing red on his cheeks.
Saul beat a quick retreat

As Arc chuckled aloud! ......
