Critterature: The Next High-Tech Generation
Imagine, if you possibly can,
The primate called orangutan.
A great many people admire his cuteness;
They don't even seem to mind his hirsuteness.
His arms are too long so his shirts never fit right,
And his legs are so bowed that he scarcely can sit right.
But for honey or figs high up in a tree,
Those long arms are perfect for plucking, you see.
So unless you're a barber or tailor man,
There's no need to pity orangutan.
He's been seen on the news with his latest fad,
He was learning to use an Apple iPad*.
So if you wanna find out what he's gonna do next,
You can friend him on Facebook or send him a text.
*Per the Smithsonian Zoo, Jan. 2013. Obviously, dear readers, this piece was written a few years ago. Don't know why it took so long to make it to the PS site.
