Jumped

Jumped he did,
caught the branch,
swinging high, then
a scurrying chance.

Funny, he was,
to the gathering crowd,
a shrieking howl,
my goodness, so loud.

When rocking away,
using his tail,
sweeping a branch,
he did prevail.

Easy as pie,
not difficult to do,
with a long tail,
living at the Zoo.
