This rhyme’s about a monkey, jumping on a trampoline
On a giant bowl of Jell-O colored bright fluorescent green
Except he’s not a monkey, and not on a trampoline
He’s actually a tadpole on a Mexican Jumping Bean
No wait not a tadpole, this rhyme’s about a shark
Riding a rollercoaster in an undersea theme park
But not a rollercoaster, it’s really an aqueduct
2000 or so years ago, that an emperor did construct
But it isn’t here on Earth, it’s six trillion miles away
Which is roughly one light-year, as a scientist would say
The shark ages in reverse, so before his thirtieth birthday he’ll celebrate his thirty-first
And that’s not at all impossible in a parallel universe
Actually no, he’s not a parallel universe residing shark,
He’s a trapeze acrobat and he lives on Noah’s Ark
He doesn’t swing on ropes like your average acrobat
He swings to and fro on the tail of a Siamese cat
But it doesn’t hurt the cat; she’s made of wires and steel
Spinning through the stars on a cosmic wagon wheel
And the acrobat on her tail, is really a famous knight
And they’re co-writing a novel under the pen name Zelda Wright
But the aspiring writer knight and his friend the cat robot
Are neither a knight nor cat, when given a second thought…
This rhyme’s about a monkey… no wait, we’ve been down that route…
Why don’t you tell me what it is this rhyme is all about?
