A chapter in the book Children young and old

The Red Headed Orangutan

by Debi Pick Marquette

Tricky Rhyme Time! Contest Winner 


He once lived at a zoo; they called him Crabby Scrooge the Czar

Said he had sausage fingers and his orange hair was bizarre

The animals all laughed at him, that made his poor heart scar

He was so sad and out of place and didn't feel up to par

 

One day he jumped the fence, and then he hopped into a car

He saw cars drive before, when people came from near and far

He pushed a button, and took off with black marks on the tar

It wasn't long before the cops would have him on radar

 

They almost caught him once, and it was close but no cigar

He pulled into an alley, and he walked into a bar

He went behind the counter,  grabbed a pickle from a jar 

 He shocked all of the people, when he picked up a guitar

 

Mike Doodle, music coach was there to hold a seminar

Could not believe this big red ape, could also play sitar

He bought him from the zoo, then made this happy ape a star

After they toured the Country, bought the Czar his own Jaguar
