The Greatest Ape

My brother's been on holiday to Rwanda. Also, he used to be obsessed with WWII, so I wrote this for him...


The Greatest Ape

The greatest ape you’ve ever seen
appeared in a movie with Steve McQueen.
Chilled bananas were his favourite thing
- that’s why they called him the Cooler King 
And poor blind Donald, the hairless mole
helped the greatest ape get out of a hole.
You wouldn’t think he’d have a chance
waging gorilla war in occupied France.
but he's a crowd-pleaser, who'd fail to like
the greatest ape on a motorbike?
And unlike his mates, who struggled learning,
the greatest ape remembered ... to speak in German!
