Advanced Animal Mutations

It's the latest intellectual thing; it's in vogue
   To dare to say it doesn't make you a rogue
You can let people know that experts can show
   That we are just two-legged animals: It's so!

Between us are no unbridgeable separations
   We are merely advanced animal mutations  
Our music no better than a Thai elephant's clanging
   Our language duplicated by an ape on a keyboard banging

So, I'm terribly sorry to be behind the times here
   But I find all of this to be unutterably queer
For to me it is the height of laughable misinformation
   To try to conceive of an animal with a human's imagination
