King Kong

They called me King Kong,
Although I really don’t know why.
I hadn't any kingdom;
Just a very hairy guy.

Yes, I lived on a nice island,
As pretty as could be.
There was no real rent involved,
So I guess you could say it was free.

Yet, it was no bed of roses,
For others lived there too.
They used to scream and shout at me,
Which made me sad and blue.

Still, I would have lived with that,
I could have just stayed on my side,
But then came others upon a boat,
Their intent, an unwanted ride.

They were a motley crew,
Both ugly and mean.
But one was a dame,
The prettiest I've seen.

She was small of course,
For all of them are.
This one was foxy,
The finest by far.

They knocked me out,
Though I don't know how.
With a big cloud of smoke,
And a very loud POW!

When I woke up,
I was in a cage.
It pissed me off,
Sent me into a rage.

With eyes fire red,
And a massive ROAR!
I jumped onto the bars,
Ripping off the door.

Once outside,
I looked all around.
This sure wasn't my island,
I thought with a face frowned.

That's when I saw her,
That dame from the boat.
I figured I'd snatch her,
Then find a place remote.

She screamed a few times,
But I didn't really care.
For I was too busy,
Looking up in the air.

Way off in the distance,
Was that a mountain I see.
It's to big and rock like,
For it to be a tree.

So up it, I climbed,
To the very top.
That dame holding on,
Afraid she might drop.

I sat there to think,
Wondering how I'd get home.
Never seeing the planes,
As they buzzed the dome.

Darn gnats!, I grumbled;
as the planes swarmed around.
I swatted at a few of them,
Sending them crashing to the ground.

That's when it probably happened,
My foot, it must have slipped.
The building top that I held,
Snapped with a sickening RIP!

Teetering on the edge,
I knew that I would fall.
I'd tumble down the side,
Like a big hairy beach ball.

The ground came up fast,
It didn't take long.
So ended my story,
The one of King Kong.

I want you all to know,
As I sit here in Hell.
It wasn't beauty that killed the beast,
Nope, I just slipped and fell.
