After Breaking a Taboo

Just better then chimpanzee 
After breaking your people’s known taboo.
One, sure, is not escaping a boo!
They would all stop who’d loved to at you coo
Many fighting to glimpse your face “Please who”
Your never change a thing, only cud chew!
Your own mum would serve you rice, no stew,
Dad delaying your drugs after a flu,
About you to his friends “Loose is the screw”
And “Food for sharks” as ship’s captain to crew;
You’re an idiot to these searching for a clue…

So, after what I’d said: mind a taboo.
Even, the beasts in zoos don’t get a boo.
What gain about ‘Who?’ one points to you?
“Look at the guy whom his image slew!”
