“Prescilla by Maisie Aletha Smikle

My name is Prescilla
I am a gorilla
Cuddly as a pillow
Fluffy and mellow

Am not king kong
Am not queen kong
Am not prince kong
Nor princess kong

That roars bing bong
And plays ping pong
Has sharp fangs
And wears a thong

Am Prescilla
The gorilla
Easy as a feather
Gentle as a flower

Am big as a bear
Kind as a deer
Strong as a lion
Sweet as a lamb

I pat my chest
For no contest
But to breathe at best
While giving thanks to the King

Not king kong
That roars bing bong
Plays ping pong
And wears a thong

But to my Creator
Who created me a gorilla
For His own pleasure
He took good measure

To make an extraordinary creature
Like me…
A gorilla…
Called Prescilla”
