I am a gorilla and do,
Like all gorillas, only eat,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Fresh veggies and fruits and no meat.
Once in a while by accident
I might pick up a bug and stick
In my mouth, then it's evident
That this was not a tasty pick.
A big adult male like me can
Eat up to fifty pounds or more
Of produce in a daily span.
That's chowing down good stuff galore.
So when a visit you elect,
Come see me and 'lettuce' connect.

I would like to translate this poem
What a fun and funny poem! I'm still laughing. Reminds me of the song 50,000 Pounds of Bananas by Harry Chapin.
