| '''Jimmy Goes to the City''' is a poem by [[Arthur Read]]. It is featured in the episode "[[I'm a Poet]]," ''[[Arthur and the Poetry Contest]]'', and the "[[Poetry Club (track)|Poetry Club]]" track on ''[[Arthur and Friends: The First Almost Real Not Live CD (or Tape)]]''. As D.W. mentions in ''Arthur and the Poetry Contest'', the poem is a parody of King Kong.

| ==Poem==
| |
| ''Jimmy was a happy ape until some hunters caught him''<br>
| |
| ''He liked the jungle better than the city where they brought him''
| |
| | |
| ''The city was louder; the city was meaner''<br>
| |
| ''Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner''
| |
| | |
| ''So Jimmy made a daring escape''<br>
| |
| ''The hunters were suddenly minus one ape''
| |
| | |
| ''He climbed the tallest building''<br>
| |
| ''Because from there he'd see''<br>
| |
| ''How far away the jungle was''<br>
| |
| ''From the middle of the city''
| |
| | |
| ''Jimmy jumped into a passing plane''<br>
| |
| ''But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain''
| |
| | |
| ''Jimmy flew back to the jungle and told his ape''<br>
| |
| ''friends in their lair''<br>
| |
| ''"The city's okay for a visit,''<br>
| |
| ''but you couldn't make me live there."''
