Chimp on a unicycle
Sure, why not?
A versatile learner
Who can be taught
This one can do sign language too
Signing to his owner “I love you”

checkered cheetah Chancy chanted cheery chipper chant
Chimpanzee curiously concentrated ‘cause cheetah can’t.
cackling cadaver’s cadence cheered chimp’s cheery chance.
delivering devious devilish Dracula during Desmond’s dance.

Elephant built his own fly away escape
Hot air balloon that most cannot readily make.
The chimpanzee watched him carefully that day
Grabbed on to the bottom and swung along on his way
The elephant was traveling at a tremendous speed
We are having such a great time! Said the chimpanzee, Feed.
They escaped from the circus compound and never went back.
Loving every minute as they traveled past every rail track.
They floated through Michigan, onto Kalamazoo.
They are so high! And so daring! Said a turtle named Boo.
Boo usually could not see a hot air balloon, but he was stuck on his back.
I wish I could go with them he said wistfully; his name was Mack.

In magnificent memory of Vee See’s zaniest chimpanzee
Probably discussed by merry monkey’s chipping chickadee
Readily and aptly apparent by three who seldom agree
Incredibly supping with Mamie, Marjorie and Mr. Paul Klee
Please pass the honey and the light brie said brazen bumblebee.
No one capably eats brie with lemon tea said a flickering flea.
Advice is free but listen, skinny skeleton, I dare you to try and oversee.
Chimpanzee and chickadee fell down laughing at this on one knee.

Valentine’s day chimpanzee has designs on me
I tell him I am taken, and he says “tee hee!”
I show him my initial, the ancient letter C.
He says come and sit down up my knee.
I tell him I am old enough to remember Paul Klee
He says we should spoon under the old oak tree
I tell him I cannot, for today they give ice cream for free
Introducing him to the king of the Old Grand Prix
My husband Chick looks down at the tiny chimpanzee
Scaring him so hard, that the little guy doth flee
He shot off faster than a golf ball on a magic tee.
I guess my husband Chickadee plans on keeping me.

Why do you call her the chimpanzee diva? I ask a bit too much.
I think it sounds a bit mean, because I have not seen her yet.
She floods herself into the party wearing satin and such.
She puts her clutch on the hutch and says, “I am no one’s pet.”
Her clothes are designer fine, and her attitude is beyond reproach.
She opens her purse and takes out another expensive designer clutch.
She is wearing a lounging suit that costs a bunch, and a pretty broach.
Hello Miss Diva, I say, completely cowed by her demeaner and such.

Sweet merry happy chickadee
was terrified of the old racer chimpanzee
He is not so bad threw in the bumblebee
If you knew him well, you could easily see…
But he has such a loud monster truck-like Humvee!
It scares the honey nectar juice out of me!
We watched him race at the chimpanzee Grand Prix.
My auntie Tee paid for Chickadee’s entrée fee.
Now we are all friends – he, she, they and me.
Of course, this includes the wild ornery bumblebee.
We all went out last Tuesday for Orange Pekoe Tea.
Chickadee, chimpanzee, bumblebee and me!

"A chinchilla and a chimpanzee walked into a bar," my
grandson says, smugly, with that smile.
Where? I ask. The U.S.? England? The Neverlands?
He gives me a slow head shake ‘no’.
Kenya? The Isle of Man? Timbuktu?
South America? Guatemala? Italy?
I am being ridiculous, but as Grandma, it is my job.
I can tell that he is losing interest fast, so I stop my queries.
“It could not be anywhere, Grandma,” he tells me. “Chinchillas do not walk,
they scurry.”
I love having an eleven-year-old grandson.

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 South Korea.
Owns a posh apartment, he keeps as a timeshare
Sent me a text, “come over, I’ve a room to spare”
However;
Neither liked the city and soon realised their mistake,
Noisy, brash and crowded, somehow rather fake.
They moved back to the jungle and so began to see,
Home is where the heart is;
and that’s where you should be.

On the internet, there was a sad story I would see.
This concerned someone and her pet chimpanzee.
Because the primate inexplicably attacked a friend,
the fifteen-year-old chimpanzee’s life had to end.
Travis the chimp behaved erratically in his place.
He attacked his owner’s friend by grabbing her face.
This was another sad story about exotic pets.
So many tales have ended with similar regrets.
Has anyone seen a movie about an ape named “King Kong”?
Keeping wild animals in captivity seems to be wrong.
We should leave those creatures in their natural habitat.
What is wrong with adopting either a dog or cat?

I was the first creature
to step on this land of dreams
where man is perceived to be
the master of all.
I believe that am the grand father
or grand mother of man,
but man is better than me
who stay naked forever,
and who have little knowledge
to plan my work in time.
Man is is a rational maximiser,
wise and sharp
unlike me who's ever dull!
I question my self and you;
that who bewitched me?
I have no hope to be like man
who's ever smart in all his plots and work.
