The Gorilla

It's through wide bars
That the females of the area
Contemplated a powerful gorilla
Without caring about what people might say
Shamelessly, these gossips
Even ogled a specific spot
That, strictly my mother
Forbade me to name here
Beware of the gorilla!

Suddenly, the well-closed prison
Where the beautiful animal lived
Opens for no apparent reason (I suppose
They must have closed it poorly)
The monkey, upon leaving his cage
Said: Today is the day I lose it!
He was talking about his virginity
You have guessed, I hope!
Beware of the gorilla!

The zookeeper
Cried, distraught: Damn!
It's annoying because the gorilla
Has never known a female monkey!
As soon as the feminine offspring
Knew that the monkey was a virgin
Instead of taking advantage of the chance
They fired both barrels!
Beware of the gorilla!

Those same ones who, not long ago
Watched him with a determined eye
Fled, proving that they hardly
Had any follow-through
Their fear was even more in vain
As the gorilla is a joker
Superior to man in the embrace
Many women will tell you!
Beware of the gorilla!

Everyone rushes
Out of reach of the horny monkey
Except for an old decrepit woman
And a young judge in wooden shoes
Seeing that all others evade
The quadruped accelerated
His swaying towards the robes
Of the old woman and the magistrate!
Beware of the gorilla!

Bah! The centenarian sighed
That one could still desire me
Would be extraordinary
And, to tell the truth, unexpected!
The judge thought, impassive
That I could be mistaken for a female monkey
It's completely impossible
The outcome proved him wrong!
Beware of the gorilla!

Suppose that one of you could be
Like the monkey, obliged to
Violate a judge or an ancestor
Which would you choose between the two?
If such a dilemma
One of these days, falls to me
I am convinced the old woman
Will be the object of my choice!
Beware of the gorilla!

But, unfortunately, if the gorilla
Is worth his price in love games
It is known that, on the other hand, he does not shine
Neither in taste, nor in wit
So, instead of opting for the old woman
As anyone would have done
He grabbed the judge by the ear
And dragged him into a thicket!
Beware of the gorilla!

The continuation would be delightful
Unfortunately, I cannot
Say it, and it's regrettable
It would have made us laugh a bit
Because the judge, at the supreme moment
Cried: Mom!, cried a lot
Like the man to whom, that same day
He had his head cut off
Beware of the gorilla!
