Koko the Gorilla and Haiku

Koko the gorilla can understand over 1,000 words in sign language and 2,000 words in spoken English, but did you know that she also loves haiku? In fact, for her 40th birthday, Koko held a haiku contest in which The Education Girlz entered (belatedly).

Just like having fun
