Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are listed as, endangered
and have already disappeared, from four countries
Their habitat is in amazing forests, of central Africa
and they spend a lot of their days, high up in the trees
When chimps are grounded, they travel on all fours
but they can walk on two legs, for a mile with no sores
They use a stick, to fish termites out of a mound
and drink water, by bunching leaves from the ground
Chimpanzees can live, for more than fifty years
and are very social, nurturing their young for many years
They are our closest cousins, with 98% of our genes
so let us have respect, for our ancestral prime mates
The Ebola disease, has killed tens of thousands
and poaching for bushmeat, is to feed rich residents
Infant Chimpanzees, are caught and sold as pets
as the greed of money, sends all life down the dunny
