Miss Christy Sambristy, a Little Tale

Miss Christy Sambristy had way too much hair!
When you visited, hair was on every couch, and chair.
It stretched all the way outside her blue and red door!
If she tried cutting it, the hair just grew
                   more and

Gorillas On the Throne

Old and bald, foolish and grey
save us all, O Lord we pray
from the crowns and guns
evil men with bloody guts

When demons rule the land
life is better beneath sands
African leaders with dark souls
Black Gorillas on the throne

Cross River Gorillas

They have a vegetarian diet, for their life of culture

A Clear Message

We have beautiful cats, of colour and pride
to us they stand out, but not those they prey

We have amazing bears, of size and fright
to us they stand out, when their meals come their way

We have cuddly koalas, with a teddy bear look
to us they stand out, but not on the highway

We have large gorillas, with

Zuni and Zulu Remain Single

Zuni and Zulu cute twin gorillas
They loved the most insane hairy fellas
They courted them expertly
Fed them sweet chamomile tea
For they were such conniving bellas

Jake and Jim went to their hut for tea
Both fell for Zuni unfortunately
Zulu was so mad
She called them both “Cad”
So neither were offered matrimony

The Zoo

The Zoo.
Hooray!
Love it!
Hooray! Hippity Dippity Snippity Rippity Hooray!
The Zoo?
Me!
Sure.
Love to go.
Feeling dance-y and prancey, giddy and diddy.
The zoo!
Where else can you go 
where the gorillas
throw their feces at you?

Mountain gorillas are so cute 

They're extremely smart and bright 

Mountain gorillas are so cute 

They can attack and become brute 

Gorillas live in groups day and night 

Now they're protected and that's right 

Mountain gorillas are so cute.

Gorillas

(This is meant to be a cento, however PoetrySoup.com does not have that option, anyways please comment with your views on it.)

I'm useless, but not for long,
Are you here with me?
'Cause you are my medicine,
When you're close to me.
I am happy, I'm feeling glad.

Just looking out on the day of another dream,
Keep a mild groove
