If I were but a big baboon

    And lived within a zoo,

I’d want to live out in the world -

    Well, surely, so would you!

 

If I were but a big baboon,

    I’d flash my big red bum

And then sit on an old tree stump

     And make a face that’s glum.

 

If I were but a big baboon,

    I’d groom the other apes

And then I’d picnic with my friends

     And make off with their grapes.

 

If I were but a big baboon,

    I’d leap around my cage

And, when I’m angry, just look out.

      I’ll show my teeth in rage.

 

If I were but a big baboon,

     I’d be part of a troop,

For, living in the great outdoors,

     There’s safety in a group.

 

If I were but a big baboon -

     My poems you’d never get

So I’ll stay human - yes I will -

    And write more poems?  You bet!!!
