Best Ape Poems


The Naked Ape

Governed by our beastly needs
We don our frocks and mount our steeds

Tarzan the Jungle Ape Man

Living in he jungle, no fear to hold,
fighting, always standing bold.
Piloting in the breeze,
swinging on vines through the trees.
His best friends, the creatures there,
to each other they are fair.
As the great one echoes his call,
these creatures, in line they fall.
Ready to help in time of need,
lining up for their great stampede.
How this hero came to be,
left behind in the jungle was he.
Just an infant, unable to escape,
knowing his mother as an ape.
Learning ways of the animals,
imitating their amazing calls.
Suddenly a woman one day came,
becoming his mate, that was Jane.
The king of beasts is Tarzan,
not a Lion, but an Ape Man.

Going Ape

There once was a man from Manila,
    Who said, i'm the best lady killer.
    His mate got him a date,
    But he found out too late,
    His date was a female gorilla.

The Ape Climbed Up the Drapes

The Ape climbed up the drapes
 just to get to the juicy grapes!
The Ape filled up his pajamas
with very sweet creamy bananas !

Premium Member The Hidden Ape Revealed

Under thee lids there sleeps the truth 
now I see a climate change occur
Where twisted merchants betray God 

Selling false faces denies the sixth promoting killing 
along with a few other numbers written on stone
corrupt unholy the governments of countries have become 

Stealing has become normal justice lies spill 
from snakes without a backbone the whole system has become infested 
so many rats eating from our treasuries hounds taking their pounds of flesh 

From elderly to the poor they are each branded to turn eyes 
around facts where chains have been applied as we all become beggars 
and all we ever hear about is misery and war

The Naked Ape


                  Dreamer paddle a transcendental canoe adrift somewhere
                  Granting immortality dryads require acquiescence abound
                  Truth unravel illusions urging heart to conquer primal fear
                  Awareness begs the naked ape to strive for higher ground


                  Mind senses advanced evolution sculpting surrealistic land
                  Indisputable claim heralds the exodus of unknown entities
                  Before the deluge alien artifact found beneath desert sand
                  Man can erode bias with pragmatic and moral objectivities

A Conversation With An Ape

If an ape came into my living room, 
And could talk fluently and converse, 
I’d speak with him about sociology, 
Or to her about avoiding the perverse. 

I’d ask how to form friendships, 
How to foster appreciation within, 
Making hints at a lack of confidence, 
Causes me to falter and not win. 

I’d ask about the disadvantaged, 
The weaker members who lack chance, 
About how to elevate and free them, 
Their everyday experience to enhance. 

I’d inquire about surprise, revelation, 
To learn from his posture to life, 
So that I could educate the kids, 
On ways to deal with strife. 

I’d ask if he’s embarrassed to be, 
The king ape with lots of women, 
Or if he just accepts his role, 
Without distaste or hesitation. 

I’d ask if she redistributed wealth, 
Fruit each time to the more weak,
And decide to vote for socialism, 
Or for social democracy’s cheek. 

I’d ask about his favourite girl, 
How often he returned for more, 
And stand up for personalities, 
In every profession’s shore. 

I’d ask what she thought about, 
In the spare time of her day, 
And just accept the relationality,
That makes secularism okay. 

I’d offer him a coffee, with help, 
And accept he did not want sugar, 
And reorganise my meaty diet, 
To become about veggies eager.

Divination In An Ape and Eel Pie But No Gravy

Turtles drooping can be signs of elitist tantrums on borderline wave cones. Such colours. And often feedback is not fodder so therefore indigestible. Taming a 3foot bullock who is battling to grow horns is often not an easy task. Sometimes content to chew cud and at other times rampaging and knocking over thistle glasses who often look quite shocked. If one resembles an otter can one dive? Flotation is the way of saying get up. And getting up is often fantastically fun terminology that means that the years have created an engagement long overdue. No exact ritual can perform an exact result so play light, put right, and glide on harmonics in air. Or over tables. Onlookers are quite often seasick. Oh how rather remarkable then for therein lies much Flightly kingdoms of rain and wind gods. 190th element and a half turn of a key. Let it not be said that a sausage can not jet ski and a mouse in a tutu cannot balance on a promenade in a wind. Wild wind whipping willows. A 1foot humanoid said pied a puskin skot in a bright patterned blouse. And ba said the eastern maiden. Longitudinal latitudes create attitudes to store in neat ordered patterns. On skylines in sky castle yards and gates are often discovering a new way of laughing. Draping a cotton snood to correct ways. Standing on a 5 centimetre bridge on mountains over 500 feet. Tailoring a suit and fixing a boot with the flem from a laughing hedgehog. Dusk discovered discourse discounted draperies driving drinking derived design divine divided *** canopies *** resistance *** ha ha ha ha *** now attempt to land in orderly ways. *** valour *** ape eel pies ***

Premium Member The Clever Ape To the Horrible Human

I'm nothing special, just plain old me

Ancestors from my past came down from the tree

We scratched our knuckles and found that hurt

Scraping our skin through our neighbourhood dirt

As wise as I was at that young age

My skin bleeding, something needed to change


The fruit above caught my eye

As I unarched my back it made me sigh

Why had dad, not thought of this before

Than knuckling dirt on our neighbourhood floor

As I looked around and viewed our troop

They were all like me, not one did stoop

Is it a corner we've turned, and is it for the best

This standing up, the evolution test


For through the years we transformed and formed

Into a standing ape like human form

Was this a path for us to take

Or a misleading path and it's all a mistake

It's millions of years, later now

Why have we become what we are now

Our treatment of us, is oh so sad

What made us, turn out so bad


What will it take to be so sure

Maybe taking that stance on our neighbourhood floor

And why do I say what you read above

It's mans inhumanity to man, it sure ain't love

So what do we do to iron this out

I'm no Stephen Hawking's, but please give me a shout!

It's best to discuss this sitting under a tree

As we look up above, where we used to be

Limericks

A scientist said to his mate
“We came from the line of primate!”
Said one of the men,
While waving his pen,
“Refer to yourself, not us, mate.”

An ape heard the scientist say
That men share the same gene as they.
The ape proudly said,
“You’d wish you were dead--
Insult us no more or you’ll pay.”

Man From Ape

Millions of years ago, Science says
Ape, very gentle animals
Adopt themselves into a developed creature
Human
They fought world wars, innovate firearms
Nuclear bombs and kills people every days
And nights

Some tigers, a spokesman says, are planning
To adapt themselves, so fiends
think for a next thousands years after-world

Evolved Ape

the world order became so chaotic 
way after ape already evolved to a man  

	it’s nonsense, if you call this an evolution 
	the ape shouldn’t step on the earth and stand upright 

the sun is a whirlpool of blaze overflowing lava 
the black hole is a tundra snowstorm formation, the torrent of a glacier

	that’s the difference between comedy and tragedy 
        is one thin sheet of paper, life and death is on the same path
 
don’t be hasty, when spring comes, the flowers bloom
there’s no need to force the flowers to bloom before their time 
men's desire is to see the flowers in any season  
  
	perhaps, that’s why every flower 
        has a different shape and fall, regardless, in season

        the way of men’s life 
        rolling along in changing seasons all different,
        it’s difficult to distinguish the ape from the tree
        or the man the potter made with clay?
        and further, it confuses me more, because 
        the destination is the same for all creatures 

	even so, there’s no need to sink into 
        a swamp of unsolved problem 
        and torment yourself; 
        simply look at the day
        earth circles the same orbit there’s light and darkness
	
	when the morning comes, you’ll see the sun,
        when you see the sun you will live another day,
        and repeat conscious or unconscious, advancing 
        one more day stepping on another day.

I wonder why the ape came down from the tree
and made this world complete chaos; 
in the name of mankind, apes made men
ugliest creature on the earth, made them hate and harm
each other, to sustain their lives, Oh; what wicked apes!
