She Was Swinging

With considerable ease,
she swung from the trees,
Floating about,
as if in a dream.

She’d stop for a rest,
or to nibble on leaves.
Every day she’d be found doing,
exactly as she pleased.

Then one day a tiger,
asked why she swung,
And didn’t chase the others,
The way that she runs.

She said I have no desire,
To go traipsing about.
There’s so many vines,
I can use as I shout.

They others they fear me,
Because of my scream.
Believe me old tiger,
I am more than I seem.

There’s no need for me,
To run the ground by the roots
There’s tree branches up here.
And there’s always fresh fruit.

So, go back to your racing,
While I play here and sing,
Don’t be disturbing a monkey,
While she’s in the middle of a swing.

One day you will notice
I’m quite the fun chimp
I will practice my swinging,
While you chase all those shrimps.

And I’ll watch from the distance,
Without any fear.
For I know you will eat me,
if I don’t stay up here.

The End

Thanks for Reading!
