Notes About The Poem

I find this animal so gross looking. If you never saw one from behind, here is google link:

A Baboon Bummer

A baboon at the zoo cleverly

made gestures to me like a friend,

then turned right around, displaying to me

his giant red ugly rear end!

Andrea, the only good thing about seeing a baboon from behind is that it is walking away from you.

Tut tut Petal, shame on you mocking the Kim Kardashian's of the natural world, lol. Though I know what you mean. Take care, Richard

hahaha. I laughed out loud to read what you said here about Kardashian. It's amazing to me that women actually want their butts to appear larger! WAIT. In the natural world, this actually attracts the male when it's the female's time to mate. Ok, now I totally get what you are saying!!
