It's Carl Denham's Fault

Carl Denham, you have done a dirty deed. You brought that big gorilla to New York out of greed. That "eighth wonder of the world" would make you money. However, what he did certainly was not funny. Kong broke loose from his chains during the show. He fled the theater, and off he would go. With him, he carried pretty Ann Darrow. Kong quickly headed for the Empire State Building. Along the way, that huge ape did his thing. He wrecked a train, and plenty of people he was killing. As he climbed that building, he caused trouble to say the least. It took a lot of airplanes to shoot down that beast. There was a lot of relief after that gorilla was dead. Denham, get this into your incredibly dense head: Having that ape in this city was not considered fun. Don't you dare go back to Africa to get another one! Based on the 1933 film "King Kong"

Hello Robert ... reminds of that child who fell into the gorilla enclosure and the gorilla appeared to protect the child yet the gorilla was shot. That was sickening - thank you Robert - Lindsay

Robert, very entertaining. You have an awesome way of interpreting things. I never saw the movie King Kong, but I feel like I did now that I've read your poem. Nice work.
