Such a cute poem, and you did a great job sticking to the guidelines of the contest. This was really fun to read. It is nice to read something on the lighter side, doesn't always have to be so serious. Good job and good luck!

Comment from Sally Law
Oh my goodness! What a trip this was! A fun one too with this unique prompt. The requirements aren't easy, sorta out there. You brought them all together in this delightful post, mystery poet. I sure would like a Jaguar. The car I mean! ;))
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest,

I loved this writing prompt entry. It was fun to read this story in a poem. I couldn't believe it, but it's cute and flowed musically. Good job. I hope I catch your writing again. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I really feel for this poor orangutan and his plight as he was in a zoo and was laughed at by the other animals. This tugged at my heart as the rhymed story went through its paces.
I was happy when he made it as a guitar player and toured the country and was in his own right way. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story in a form of a poem.

Thanks Jesse for your very sweet review. I appreciate that more than you could know. You are so very kind and so happy that you are back here where you belong my friend.
Comment from Frank Malley
This excellent poem meets the requirements of its contest easily and amusingly. Because of his eccentric appearance, the Orang is disliked by the jungle animals who should have been his friends. Orang leaves the jungle, steals a car, and becomes a music star. Would that everyone who faces rejection had a backup plan so satisfying.

Comment from Douglas Goff
An impressive sixteen rhyming sentences!
Nicely played Master Poet. I knew these were going to end up silly and that you would be good at this, if this is who I think it is!
Nice work. Too funny!

Awe, Douglas, of course you know who I am, and this was a bit of a challenge, but I love a good challenge. What a fun contest prompt you gave, so when I joined last night I didn't realize how much fun it would be.
Thank you for such nice comments, as I appreciate them very much my dear friend.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
First of all, I'm going to suggest that you change the font on this right away. It took me a long time to read it, and several times I mixed "he" and "no" and just had a real hard time, especially with the orange background. I think the color would be fine with a different font. If you aren't getting a lot of reviews, it may be because people can't read it.
Having said all of that, it was a very creative and fun piece and is a very good entry for this contest. BUT the judging might turn on the ability to read it.
Good luck!

Thanks Pam for the feedback. I need that because no matter the font or size, it looks blurry to me. I cannot really tell unless I hear from someone like you. It's the same when I review so I don't get to as often as I'd like. Glasses don't help so, but I can make it out as long as I don't stay on it too long. Shingles a few years ago in my eyes did it, but it could be worse. At least I am not blind.
So thank you for the lovely review too as I appreciate both feedback and other comments. If you have a minute could you just look and tell me if it is better? Thanks my friend!

YES! Much better. I'm so sorry that seeing is such a struggle for you - a terrible thing for someone who loves to read and write.
I think you'll get more reviews now with this change. Good luck:-)
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a funny nonsense story in a poem about an escaped orangutan. This is one very talented ape. Too bad he can't sing too. I like the mono-rhyme.
It shows us that breaking from a bad crowd can help you become yourself.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from patricia dillon
This was very ingenious. You wove these disparate words together very skilfully and made a very interesting story. An orangutan that can drive a car and play the sitar is certainly a feat of the imagination.
