Where bananas straighten out by the hour
And the stinging coconut slowly loses its hair,
Have you been there?
I was – I swear!
Nuts there swell, shiver and grow sour,
Sad gorillas stare
At aero–bats sailing backwards through the air –
For a dare!
Swamps giggle as fish cower,
Sly crocodiles, weeping, glare
At snide parrots who don’t give a care
Because there’s zillions of them there.
Slimy waterfalls freeze, stumpy giraffes glower
And whistle a soft tune – so sweet and rare –
Before … splat! They tumble into the spider’s
snare:
YES, I WAS THERE!
