Gorilla in the Classroom

A green gorilla was dropped into Chevak
It charged across the tundra, shrieking wildly, disturbing poor mice
It tried to storm across the lake, but it slipped and fell
Both the fall and the hard ice blew him into a greater rage
And the buildings shook
Icicles fell from the force of its fury
It charged into the school, fueled by anger
It disrupted the tests of the students
It disturbed the peace and broke concentration
It broke into one of the classrooms and frightened the students
It flailed its arms like the fans of great windmills
It turned over desks like crashing waves
It brought the place of education to chaos and havoc
It cornered one of the students, a young girl with brown hair
It raised up a paw as though to strike the girl dead
Then it brought its paw down, landing gently on her shoulder
In its excitement, it screamed, “Tag! You’re it!”
