Naughty chimp
Spanked the monkey

The screams of a chimp
reminds me of French toast sticks
it's mysterious...

In front of the shining mirror
I stood with my hair limp
A Cinderella for a party
Looked like a drowned chimp...

There once was a chimp named Francisco
Who loved to eat gooey Crisco
When given the chance
He'd laugh and then dance
The waltz, the tango, and disco....

I take my boyfriend to the zoo, 
Where he plays with a chimp named Boo.
He tries to take the chimp home, 
so I said "No, Logan, what's wrong with you!?"...

Carlos clever carnivore, courageous cosmonaut chimp
Tried twice to turn twisters, for he was an incredible imp.
Twisters tossed him toward Pluto, he went up in the air.
Whether he comes back or not, few of us gave a care....

Trimp Was Declared A Dilettante

Trump was a chimp declared a dilettante;
Who had ended up becoming a confidant;
A chip off block;
Bunch  of crock;
With horrible  things us he had to haunt.

Born all full of corn...

Scantily skipping imp,
Feet floating
Like an electrified shrimp,
Shoe sole flapping
Like an unpaid pimp,
Flamp-p-p 
           
Listing limping imp,
Toes knotting
Like a ballerina chimp,
Shoe tongue flopping
Like a deflated blimp,
Flimp-p-p...

Once me and my chimp friend bald Jim
flew through a forest limb to limb
his opposable thumb
got caught in my ho-hum
thank God old Jim’s not real prim.

My name is Miss Fine and Dandy
Bald Jim often brings me candy
a banana toffee
always does it for me
and him, since he's oh so randy....

I saw a Hippopotamus going to the fair,
wearing pink pyjamas with a bow up in his hair,
he was followed by a Zebra who was wearing bright
blue socks,
a Chimp and a Koala bear, wearing matching frocks,
they climbed into the teapots looking quite a sight,
and a little old man spat out his teeth as they gave him quite a fright!...

(This is a fictional poem)

When you ran over my foot with your tractor-trailor,
I started cussing just like a sailor.
I cried and cried because I'm a wimp.
My foot had to be amputated and now I walk like a chimp.
People point and laugh at me and it cuts like a sword.
You mashed my foot so flat that it looked like an ironing board....

I have an impish inner chimp
Alive within my soul.
I am quite mean with time for him
But sometimes let him play.
If he gets out it’s drinks all-round
(My shout).
He suggests all kinds of s**t;
But whenever he’s the cause if it
There’s happiness and wit.
Remorse is often soon behind 
His times of out and free.
He’s naughty, sure but handy too:
He takes the blame from me....

Running around with his little feet,
Watching his playfulness is a treat,

Trying to speak in a mumbling way,
Just listen to what he has to say,

He's keeping his parents on their toes,
Acting as if everything he knows,

Laughing mischievously like an imp,
Jumping here and there like a small chimp,

We want to shower our love on him,
Our hearts are joy-filled up to the brim.

Max the chimp was in awe of his find.
A termite meal that boggled his mind.
Thousands trapped in the hill
He took care not to spill
And did not leave one termite behind.

This time there were extra to share
With his girlfriend whose name was Clare.
Thousands trapped in the hill
They took care not to spill
And did not leave one termite behind....

sitting on the deck
outback earlier today
sunny warm and cool

the north side trees cried
a loud long chimpanzee breeze
bellowing squawks shrieks

and songbirds upset
by a loud spring juvenile
letting excess air

from there a crow flew
to the trees on the south side
it began again

the chimps name is crow
one noisy beak of a bird
just like some people

fall guy actors
with the manners of a brat
with politics too

The chimp stretched its arm,
palm up under my chin,
fingers and thumb supple,

a pink-pawed sharing.

It’s a palm-reading offering,
if only I had the skill to interpret it.

There is a life-line.
It looks a lot like mine,
there are breaks in it
like mine.

I see a heart-line,
it seems squeezed to one side,
like mine.

His handler moves on.

I am left wondering
if it was I who had been read,

and why now does my palm
resemble a map
of my dreaming face?...

The chimp stretched its arm,
hand palm up under my chin,
fingers and thumb supple,

a pink-pawed sharing.

It’s a palmistry offering,
if only I had the skill to read it.

There is a life-line.
It looks a lot like mine,
there are breaks in it
like mine.

I see a heart-line,
but it seems
squeezed to one side,
like mine.

His handler moves on.

I am left wondering
if it was I who had had
his hand read,

and why now does my palm
resemble a map
of the face of the moon?...
