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!”
