Grandma Adopts a Baby

I adopted a baby grandma said Who would let that old woman adopt? They’d have to be wrong in their head We did not run over there, we thought it was a lie It has to be right? Said Dorothy, Buddy and Di. But believe it or not, she adopted a fellow. Knit him blankets and booties all in soft yellow An orangutan baby, she is leaving to us. His name is Gus and he’s a cute little cuss.

Here's a suggestion just for your consideration: How about adding an additional line to rhyme with 'adopt'? After the first line, add "This was stunning news that could hardly be topped". Everything else is creatively nice.

I considered it, but it did not fit in with the atmosphere I was trying to convey. Thank you for the suggestion though.
