big baboon is big stupid baboon loves to be in tail of others
nobody pay him to follow yet he so stupid and so coward
Baboon monkey often snatches kids, children, and the elderly's food
In a race on the savannah
fleet of foot is the cheetah
at up to 75 mph
no animal can beat her
and with a top speed of 50 mph
lion is the second fastest cat
tho' at
38 mph a leopard can't change its spots
the lion can do that
cubs are born with them and later lose
to become lion spots have-nots
an ostrich third place will land
at up to 43 mph
if it takes its head out of the sand
tho' cheetahs don't have racing stripes zebra do
(Burchell's, mountain and Grévy's)
but they're no boon for at 40 mph
they're only 10 mph ahead of a yellow baboon
however no matter how fast they all run
none can beat the speeding bullet
fired from a hunter's gun
A zoo baboon people called Mildred
kept holding her hand out to get fed.
When she showed her behind,
I then wished I were blind.
It was hideous, bulbous and red.
Like Animals in a plantation, so is life
Monkey must slave and Baboon must chop
Monkey must sweat and Baboon must miliki
Monkey sow, Baboon harvest
That's life's philosophy
Like Animals in a plantation, so is life
Monkey gather, Baboon plunder
When Monkey hussle, Baboon go Rustle
Monkey be chauffeur, Baboon balance for back
That's life's philosophy
Monkey be slave, Baboon be Master
That is life.
when singing out of toon
sang like a newborn baboon
banging with a big spoon
body had been bionic
when out of tune used a tonic
idiocy was ironic
while a profound pimple
we would pop simple pimple
on breast became a nipple
out of bucks got a bang
became urinating orangutang
who while washing sang
we were on Trump train
who was man without a brain
had been a big pain
A baboon who had charm, grace and flair
had a steamy and lurid affair
with a slender gazelle
who conceived very well
a gazoon with a reddish derriere.
I met a raccoon with a look so gullible;
Stumbling he came from a jungle called global.
Among the families with a very few high caste,
He lives in the periphery as an utter outcaste.
When asked to describe his present destiny,
He sneered and I said, "For villainy and tyranny".
His well-dressed ancestors lived in a mansion,
When those baboons began their expansion.
Buffoons have no love for incidents of blood,
So I’ll drop here, I’m sorry, just a tear-flood………
Thus, he has lost his wealth not for any thunder,
But for those ruffians’ out and out plunder.
Now baboons are so rich, but raccoon is so poor,
And they can sing songs, yet he mourns every hour.
If you’d get offended for recalling this history,
I’d drink a pot of toddy and munch a plate of pastry.

Biting Satire Poetry Contest
[Written for my four year old great granddaughter
who has developed an interest in the moon. Only after
writing it did I discover already existing ’stuff’ called
‘A baboon on the moon’. Never mind... Who wants a
Booker prize anyway?] [In UK bum is bottom]
There’s a baboon on the moon
And he’s got a shiny bum
And if he wasn’t up there
Bed time would be glum
He isn’t on his own
He’s got his sisters and his mum
And when it’s getting dark
They turn their backs toward the sun
The the moon is made of rock
Yet it glows up in the sky
Which should be quite a shock
Have you never wondered why
When baboons stick their bottoms up
Toward the setting sun
The moon so brightly glows
Because the sun shines off their bum
There once was a jovial baboon
who loved to put music to spoon
he came to my house
quiet as a grouse
until he pulled out his bassoon

Every time in Zoo,
Baboon bottom is a jibe
Dan post and comment
Baboon was tasked by community
that he gives to orphans birthday gift
consisting of clusters of ripe bananas
Earnestly he received the gift package
halfway to orphanage of the little ones
he sat down among trees and ate all of it
Neatly he packed back peelings in basket
and moved smartly with shameful steps
with the saliva continuing to flow and flow
As he gave the package, peelings dropped
hosts asked; “what trash do you bring here”?
But the baboon answered loudly with pride;
“Ask king of the forests no such question
those who live not in forests, are cowards
sweetness of bananas is a thing I can’t share”
A baboon at the zoo cleverly
made gestures to me like a friend,
then turned right around, displaying to me
his giant red ugly rear end!
Aug. 23, 2017 for the Animal Nonsense Poetry Contest
a baboon backbone
playing alone the bagpipe
a cool monkey style
a blonde Baboon face
wings around cows tails or hooves
affrighted black crow eyes
