Aye-Aye Bye-Bye

There is a mammal in Madagascar that is nearing extinction Who, through an unusual evolution, has a unique distinction Like a woodpecker, it taps on the trees through the bark Vibrating insects and bugs to eat in the dark. Instead of a beak it uses a long digit on its hands The middle one having grown to a rather long expanse Its tapping at night makes a unique forest sound And with its long middle digit it scoops up the grubs that it found. The name of this primate? It’s called the Aye-aye, And due to deforestation it’s a species going bye-bye But for the few years on this planet it still might linger It looks like to me, they’re giving man the finger. Absolutely true – look it up.
