A very humorous Senryu. For some reason, it brought back a very dim memory of a novel I read in high school: Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow. A white man travels to Africa to discover the meaning of life and all that existential bs and inadvertently becomes made the king of a tribe who worship him as a god. That's all I remember.
A fun entry for the prompt. Best banana wishes to you!

    Wow that sounds like a great book. This gorilla should do a rewrite of the book and market it to all loyal Harambe supporters. Thanks Julie for the thoughtful and colorful review.

I love the fun and imagery of a gorilla just like a king demanding bananas from his royal subjects. I hope to learn more about how this Gorilla rules The mighty jungle in which it lives

    Thank you so much for this stellar review. If you want to see more, I have a long series of gorilla and banana writings which are usually linked in series at the bottom of each entry, once the blind contest winners have been assigned and the entries no longer have to be anonymous.

This seems like a good candidate for the contest. The syllable count is correct and the subject matter is interesting. Good job and good luck. Have a blessed day

I love the playful twist in your poem! It's a fun poem! The demand of the "king" with the simple demand for a banana is so funny. Your brought a smile to my face.

This senryu, Gorilla Nature, has the proper formatting and makes the need to understand life easy. Give obedience to the King Gorilla and bring a bunch of bananas.

This poem gave me a chuckle. You got the syllable counts right, and your sentiments were funny. I liked the picture and the way you formatted the last line. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
