Gorilla In the Kitchen

I don't know why she's done it, She normally is quite sane, Mum said she bought a new gorilla, It really is a pain. She said she put it in the kitchen, Not far from the sink, What if I want to go to the tap And get myself a drink. I wonder how large it is? If it will sit with us to eat? I wonder what we'll name it? And where it's going to sleep? But when I tip-toed to the kitchen A large animal I didn't see, It was just an electric griller And mum cooking lunch for me. - more poems like this can be found at: kidscomedypoetry.com.au

Hi Kim, you are so nice going through my earlier poems. This one is the 3rd most viewed on this site. I actually wrote this because sometimes i mishear similar sounding words. But i have never ended up with a gorilla in the kitchen......kind regards------John
