Of human and animal, alike.

Destiny makes no distinction.

Premium Member An Orangutan Who Wants To Be Crowned

The Republicans gave us a monkey
That drove the economy to the ground
Now they are offering an orangutan
Who wants to be crowned

Premium Member oh for a second departure

Once simian stock from brambles
Orange buffoon whose ooze rambles
Orangutan clone 
On narcissist’s throne
Owns ape-man’s old brain in shambles

Evicted

delightful palm oil
               
                   puts orangutan at risk

                                             barren land of shame

Premium Member orangutan thief

an orangutan sits in my oak tree
his nest is made of my sweatshirts three
he cuts the cheese; it blows into my nose
I know he plans to steal the rest of my clothes

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 one banana two banana

one banana, two banana, three banana, four
monkey does a soft shoe, and skips out the side room door
orangutan rolls his brown eyes at the lively monkey
mortal enemies from the Amazon, they rarely agree

Pongo

If I were an orangutan to be the best I can as thoughtful by nature I'd swing through the trees and hang by my knees while patiently contemplating like an abominable orange snowman

Premium Member Marie and Orie

Marie shares her banana daily with Orie, an orangutan
He liked no other human, only her, no other child or man
They sit and converse silently, sharing their food with each other
She sometimes wonders if Orie thinks she might be his mother

Premium Member K L M N O P

Keep out of the kale and the captain’s keg
Lazy light foot like you could lose your leg
Miserable moments mastered by minion Meg
Never needless, yet not necessary without a doubt
Olive Orangutan outrageously opted out
Providing persnickety persimmons a playful pout

Garbage

An orange and tan 
orangutan
with origins
that span
to Pakistan
orates flimflam
o'er an ornate
garbage can
ordained an oracle
by an ordered clan
to plant a plan
for their ordure
that ornaments
said garbage can
the ornery orangutan orotundly
upon does scan

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 Abc Anew Boo Chew Dew

Antagonistic apes alluded to awful alligators allowing allegiance anew.
Bamboozled baboons believed beyond borders bibbity bobbity boo.
Chummy chimpanzees cheekily chattering central Chattanooga chew.
Deliberate orangutan dancing during delectable delirious dreamtime dew.

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 of a sloth,
Lazy and unmotivated
Thus, we became fast friends

Premium Member Zoo

The orangutan eats a leaf
As delicately as the 
Gazelle poops in the grass.

The black bear, tiger, rhino,
Lion, otter, hippo
Entertain while
The giraffe begs for treats.

You and I stroll carelessly 
From cage to cave and back.
The vulture’s back for dinner,
The owl’s asleep,
The keeper’s got his eye on you.

Dripping Serintonin

Sickly sweet harbor aromas permeate my heart shape cell from 
without I have no recollection of remembrances dead squid’s tentacles squirm and tease the 
bars of an angelic orangutan eating recently plucked dragonfly wings 
and flan on chips of led based paint from dripping pipes of biotoxic ammonia

Premium Member Day In the Jungle

toucans and hornbills
stifling humidity
welcome to jungle

orange orangutan
wisely avoids bees ballroom
where bees congregate

wild boar’s carcass
rotting from limb of a tree
warns us of leopard

a decorative fairy queen
clarifies jungle beauty
red jungle fowl laughs

vines shrubs and grasses
do not slow down the monkeys
i look up and smile

Premium Member Grandma Adopts a Baby

I adopted a baby grandma said
Who would let that old woman adopt?
They’d have to be wrong in their head

We did not run over there, we thought it was a lie
It has to be right? Said Dorothy, Buddy and Di.

But believe it or not, she adopted a fellow.
Knit him blankets and booties all in soft yellow
An orangutan baby, she is leaving to us.
His name is Gus and he’s a cute little cuss.

Premium Member trying to get my home right

I built my home high up in a giant oak tree
two kookaburras and an owl lived next to me
the day birds chattered all morning, conversation bright
hoot owl kept up a continuous hooting throughout the night

an orangutan moved in showing off his big red butt
I could not ignore it, so moved down to a hut
saw the shadow of a lion through my tent one night
moving to a houseboat tomorrow, trying to get it right

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 94, get rid of that one!”
Rude I know, but this was my ninety-fourth try.
The orangutans always out-classed and out-danced me.

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 have two, but one ate like a horse.
She knew he was going to be much larger than his sis.
She loved them to pieces, her Little Mister and Miss.
