My Mate's a Primate

I have a friend who beats his chest 
Who thinks he's tough, an ego blessed 
He goes out clubbing, club in hand 
Neanderthal romance, clubber lang. 

He drinks banana daiquiris by the bowl 
Experiments with chest wigs, an anthropoids soul 
He apes around to attract a mate 
A regular swinger awaiting his fate. 

My mate's

Primate Houses

At the zoo, at the primate houses,
their ire, at the watchers, arouses.
Before it’s all through,
they’re hurling their poo,
And sometimes it gets on their blouses.

The Beast From Lodi

I, I am an aye aye
I'm from Lodi
Hi-dee-ho-di
I, I'm a shoo fly pie
Wearing tie dye
Buzzing sky high
I do not lie guy.

The Caring Primate Jane Goodall

A young Jane liked to observe, native birds and animals
making notes, sketches, and reading zoology and ethology
Her fascination of animal behavior, and their fundamentals
has taken her back in time, to work out their chronology

Jane Goodall for many years, lived among chimpanzees
to study the primates of Tanzania, in their natural habitat
immersing herself in their lives, and

Primate

hairy and pungent
the silverback claims his own

reeking of brutality
his agenda is plain

his emotions
simple and deep

he is the father
of humanity

Primate On a Limb

Blissful he appears
Enjoys nature’s habitat --
Survival instinct

We have missed something
Only man kills for greed, sport --
We are devolving

Diary of a Twisted Primate

a scandalous secret gnaws
at the epicenter of my being
threatening to unearth
score pillars of dirt
upon which my world is built

gilded in reverence,
vaingloriously lauded
and parlayed to ascend sacred rungs
beyond the license of minions,
the legend grows
and grows
and grows

and though I know
my storied steeple,
as all things crooked,
will surely crumble someday,
I pray that it shall stay

erect

an irreverent crown;
a reaming tower

Primate

A single word is branded into the fresh snow in urine.

'Memoriam'

Over the crest of a barren hill covered in winter's dowry,
there is a brown form huddled over a burning tire,
shivering alone.

Curse this thing and the roundabout landscape he formed not in oils or watercolors,
but in reality

curse him.

He sketches himself so clever amongst all creatures
so chivalric
so

Living With the Primate

The little monkey in its cage;
  That looked just like a baby.
Now he’s riding on your back
  And you think he drives you crazy.

 The monkey tells you listen;
     It’s best you feed me now.
You tell him that you got no cash;
     But you’ll work

The Monkey Is a Primate

Did the monkey learned to speak, through the passing of the years;
And is the jackal still there laughing while the dove does cry its tears.
     It's said our axle is off balance, as we spin out of control
     And the elements are angry but the monkey doesn't
