I am the Gorrilla

By tgb

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am the gorilla And I’m here to have some fun To get down with the honeys And to shake my hairy bum Armed with my bananas I slide across the floor Grab the 18th birthday chick And dance, groove, some more I am the gorilla And she’s melted in my arms, Of course she never had a chance Seduced by ape-like charms I spin her off, and see her chums Waiting for their chance Smiling, winking, each one eager To taste some furry romance I am the gorilla And I’m drunk now by the bar Friends and family of the girl Buy me whiskey by the jar When on my stool I slowly spin And spy the best of all A primate beauty, an ape-like lass So to her I then do call I am the gorilla I have come down from the tree And I’ll trade all my bananas For a night of fun with thee She nodded and I followed To her dwelling we did go Where she was queen of my jungle And me her mighty joe I am the gorilla And I wake upon the morn Glancing at my hairy mate I smile at her hidden yawn For at night she put the mask on And the gorrlia she is now But no, I shriek, its not the mask Just a smiling bearded sow I wish I was the gorilla As I spring now from the bed For I did not sleep with the birthday girl But her grandmother instead Through toothless grin she calls to me As I bolt out of the door Don’t forget your bananas sonny We’ve some left from the night before James A(for ashamed) Mackaythe moral...don't drink to excess and do a gorillagram for a mate on the same night Written January 14th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 08:51 AM PST   0 • 14
