Orangutan and the Chimpanzee
An Orangutan said to the Chimpanzee,
“I’m bored and tired, hanging in this tree.”
Going to pack my bag and move to the States,
Live with Gus Gorilla, and hang out with his mates.

The Chimpanzee thought hey, that’s a good idea,
I know a Spider Monkey who lives in...

Who wants to be crowned...

Premium Member Maximillian the Sumatran Orangutan
Maximillian was the largest Sumatran orangutan we ever met.
He was gentle unless you were an enemy, then he would stomp and fret.
His three hundred pounds made an impressive sight in the jungle wild.
He often threw a baby fit reminiscent of a two or three-year-old child.

He...

Orangutan and Terrible
Orangutan and Terrible

Is an orangutan and Trump the Terrible;
Horrible hair and appearance are unbearable;
Some say it looks like an Irish Setter,
And could his behavior ever be better.

On Hillary we had placed entire bet
Now do have Trump with much regret
Not only is he an idiot in...

Orangutan If That Is How You Spell It
Acting like the man around an orangutan 
beaten up so badly they wheel you in a pram 
remember yesterday both your broken legs could stand 
Acting like the man whose day hasn’t gone to plan!...

Premium Member The Orangutan and I
We were told he was a go-getter
His aunt had bragged on him
He was a cutie, those brown eyes
He had arms to die for
They could have wrapped a mummy
We had believed the rumors
Anyway, I had, sad he would show us up
In fact, he was a bit...

Premium Member Let's Do the Orangutan Dance
Let’s do the orangutan dance, she suggested.
Several of them took off, wiggling and jiggling.
Sounds great! I agreed, trying to get in the middle of them.
They kept squeezing me out though.

“Come here,” said the instructor. “I will show you again.”
The director of the movie yelled “Take...

Premium Member Orangutan Tango
orangutan tango; emotions are high
she is gloriously compliant, sensual, sexy
He has never felt this debonair or wild
They flow onto each other
He flicks his wrist, she twirls away
Flow back together as one
Orangutan tango
their eye contact is smolderingly sexy
Wow!...

Premium Member Lucky Orangutan Mama
Orangutan mama had more babies than most.
She had twins, a premonition given to her in the form of a ghost.
Why two? She asked, concerned it would not be fair.
But the soothsaying spirit disappeared into air.

Orangutan mama loved her twins now of course.
She was fortunate to...
