Poor Walter
Great apes are the second most intelligent animals
Next to humans of course except for one of my friends
According to many scientific theories, we evolved from the ape family
Aha, that explains my friend Walter
They follow an extreme social life and express different types of emotions
So does Walter, and when he gets overly excited
He jumps up and down and sometimes he pees himself
Where Walter sort of falls behind a bit is making his own home
Using primitive tools and also searching for food in the forest
All in all Walter is a nice enough fellow
But great apes leave him in the dust when it comes to language skills
Oh Walter is not exactly illiterate but let;s put it this way
One a scale of one to ten...
Apes are about a seven and Walter is a distant third at four!
Walter and I grew up together, discovered girls together
But he still hasn't figured out the boy/girl thingy yet
However there's still time, he's only seventy something!
