The Gorilla
It's through large gates,
That the females of the district,
Gazed upon a mighty gorilla,
Without worry of what people will say.
Shamelessly, these gossips
Even ogled a specific spot
That, my mother has strictly
Forbidden me to name here
Beware the gorilla!...
Suddenly, the well-enclosed prison
Where the fine animal lived
Opens, we don't know why. I suppose
We hadn't closed the door properly.
The ape, coming out of his cage
Said "It is today that I lose it!"
He was speaking about his virginity,
You've all guessed it, I expect!
Beware the gorilla!...
The boss of the zoo
Cried, frantically: "Good Heavens!
It's stupefying because the gorilla
Has never known a female!"
As soon as the female crew
Knew that the ape was a virgin,
Instead of seizing the opportunity
They shot off on two legs
Beware the gorilla!...
These same ones who, recently
Smouldered at him with a determined eye,
Ran away, proving that they hardly
Had any consistency;
Especially vain was their fear,
As the gorilla is a jolly fellow
Superior to man in the embrace,
Many women will tell you!
Beware the gorilla!...
Everyone is rushing
Out of reach of the horny ape,
Except a feeble old spinster
And a young stolid judge~
Seeing everyone shying away
The primate quickened
His waddle towards the robes
Of the old lady and the magistrate!
Beware the gorilla!...
"So what!" sighed the hundred-year-old,
"That someone could still desire me,
Would be extraordinary,
And, to be honest, unexpected!";
The judge thought, impassively,
"That someone could take me for a monkey,
Is completely impossible..."
What happened next proved him wrong!
Beware the gorilla!...
Imagine that one of you could be,
Like the ape, obliged to
Violate a judge or a very old woman,
Which of the two would you choose?
If the same choice
Falls to me one of these days
It is, I'm convinced, the old lady
Who will be the object of my choice!
Beware the gorilla!
But, unluckily, if the gorilla
In the love games is worth his price,
We know that on the other hand, he excels
Neither in taste, nor in intellect.
Instead of opting for the old woman,
Like anyone else would have,
He grabbed hold of the judge by the ear
And dragged him away into the scrubland!
Beware the gorilla!...
What happened next would be delightful
Unfortunately, I can't
Say it, and that's regretable,
That would have made us laugh a little;
Because in the final moment, the judge
Screamed: "Mummy!", crying a lot,
Like the man whom, that same day,
He had decapitated
Beware the gorilla!...
