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.

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
