Koko the gorilla saw a kitten,
And was immediately smitten.
"Please be so kind,
To give me him", she signed,
"I'll call him All Ball,
I'm big and he's small."
This male manx,
Got up to all kinds of pranks,
Playing hide and seek,
A sight unique,
Or a merry chase,
With joyful grace.
People stared,
At this unlikely pair;
A gorilla so smart,
All Ball near her heart.
Such a lovely team,
This mother's dream.
............oh this is so sweet....and kittens are so adorable.....how could koko not wish for him.....loved reading this one...

What a joyful poem! The title appealed to me as I remember seeing a picture of Koko the gorilla with the tiniest cutest kitten. All Ball is a lovely concept. Not sure if the name comes from your poet's creativity or if that was the sign language used by Koko? Whatever, it's glorious!
