Purple Orangutans Poem by Apple Pie

Purple orangutans hurtle through space,
Silvery unicorns gallop in place,
Onions run races with noodles and spoons,
Monkeys emerge from enormous cocoons.

Turtles wear sweaters, and pickles wear wigs,
Talking tomatoes give lectures to pigs,
Peanut-size elephants flutter their wings,
Cantaloupes dance as a pineapple sings.

Bison ride bicycles, tiger fly kites,
Pelicans flicker their myriad lights,
Feathery fishes float high in the air,
Radishes wash their luxurious hair.

Rabbits and parrots play tag in the stars,
Marshmallows march in the meadows of Mars…
These are a few of the wonders I find
In the magic museum I keep in my mind.
