Curious George snatched  
the book and scampered away  
towards the White House

“Come back! Come back!” cried  
the man in the yellow hat  
starting to pursue

“They haven’t finished  
swearing you in!” yelled Cheney,  
but George paid no mind

If I but had wings  
I’d be a glorious thing  
In my bellhop suit

Maybe get a job  
Working for a wicked witch  
In a castle dark

My uncle had wings  
But he had a lousy job  
Flying out of butts

Unwary watchers:  
Chimpanzee hands press with glee  
The air jet button

Baby monkey melts  
Into her mother’s middle:  
One fur but four eyes.

Slow old silverback.  
In the green jungle sunbeams  
Small flies float and glow.
