S I N A

The zoo’s a peep show for kids —
excoriation from the
Society for Indecency to Naked Animals.

Bare chested is fine
but clothe their behinds.

The tailors stay busy
snipping and sewing
animal clothing.

A Buck Henry Hoax,
not too kind to Mr. Ed,
for the jowls of his butt
are looking red
and rather put out.

The sin-na shouts
at Jackie O
to dress her horse
and air-drops shorts
to cover unmentionables
on pornographic farms.

A group started for laughs
but many joined the cause…

P.E.T.A.’s cousin perhaps —
afterall, wearing fur’s a sin-na!

The acronym S.I.N.A. Was pronounced “sin-na”

When I was a kid, I always wondered why Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse wore pants - now I know!

Hilarious, at first...Then, a reasonable proposition, I'd say... How about those awful, uncovered gorilla butts?! I don't quite know whether to laugh or to cry. Interesting piece!!! :) gw
