Human beings
Hiding in forests
To dodge taxes...

A large group of baboons is called a congress.
Now that explains a lot, doesn't it?...

All the baboons of the churches scream in my blood,
And all the wild hot devils of the churches whine in my
soul.
Frankly, I fear this culture ---
So callous,
So tough,
So frigid....

Monkeys, chimpanzees, and hairy baboons
Some good looking dudes, these jungle buffoons
Inside ANIMAL WEEKLY
These jungle sweeties
Are photographed wearing polka dot pantaloons...

For endurance, humans can outrun all animals
Except for creditors who are basically cannibals
Who woulda thunk it
Faster than baboon's wit
But baboons win if you slide on a banana...

For endurance, us humans can outrun all animals
Except for creditors who act like cannibals
Who woulda guessed it
Faster than a baboon's wit
But baboons win if you trip on your pyjamas...

Antagonistic apes alluded to awful alligators allowing allegiance anew.
Bamboozled baboons believed beyond borders bibbity bobbity boo.
Chummy chimpanzees cheekily chattering central Chattanooga chew.
Deliberate orangutan dancing during delectable delirious dreamtime dew....

It’s too soon to predict when the monsoon winds will start blowing.
We never eat until its noon.
Baboons don’t blow balloons.
Spoon-feeding is what students nowadays want instead of using a harpoon to fish knowledge.
In camp Lazlo cartoon, Lumpus came out of the large cocoon....

Guess I'll ne'er understand those loony loons

   Shaking their fists at the Wall Street tycoons

      The Tea Party did it right

         They didn't leave filth and blight

            'Occupiers' remind me of baboons

In their slaying cocoons
these loathe baboons
brood their chaos

In their slaughtering houses

they see some rubble 

of a ruined love.
But not being above
they fail to see 
what we see
 
as from these tops; their spite are steps we scale to skies;

these tops, so cool 
and also true....

Let freedom ring for every monkey in Tennessee prison
Let freedom ring for every monkey in Texas prison
Let freedom ring for every monkey in Mississippi prison
Let freedom ring for every monkey in  Alabama prison
One day !!
Black monkeys and white monkeys , chimpanzee and baboons
Shall eat one big ripe banana
Let freedom ring for every monkey in prison...

Come all, Come live 
Watch with pleasures 
The beauty of the Inn 
How the merriment goes 

And with pleasures all watch 
The shepherds bring in their sheeps 
All coming in with smiling face 
And we will sit upon the benches 

Seeing how they feed their flocks 
Seeing how interesting animals can be 
And watching with excitement 
I will make thy bed of baboons...

The horses’ lacy white petticoats and ribboned pantaloons
Were kicked almost as high as a delightful orange harvest moon.
The anger came from the big burly brown baboons
Who were left out by the snotty uppity raccoon.
I felt like an uninformed ridiculous goon,
Because I had assigned the notorious snotty coons
The task of doling out the petticoats and the pantaloons....

I hear there's a man who lives on the moon
My friends laugh and talk about visiting him soon
Upon travel to a basket they're going to tie a bunch of balloons
What a load of silly baboons

I hear the moon is a giant size scoop of blue moon ice cream
Stars are sparkly yummy sprinkles supreme
"I ate the moon and the man on it" I scream
Mom smiles and says "it was only a dream"...

cracked faces
lacking style
forced me
places
dott
ing
smiles

liars laughing moons
projecting images
of
baboons

book knowledge
rocks
in
the
pocket

brittle stars reflection
whittle scars affection
try me with a spoon in your mouth
plant your thumbs elbowed man
wooly up your mammoth
brush my ivory tusks
blowing bubbles
with your
cracked
faces

I dreamed of leaving this rat race
Even when the baboons oppressed the monkeys
and the bees disturb the king of the
Forest ; the wood pecker continues his mission
The tiger lies flat waiting for his
Prey ; as the antelope eats with caution
also the toad rejoices for the rain 
I dreamed of leaving this rat race.

The blue ball bounced against the rubber baby buggy bumper.
Bobby Brown’s bright blue blazer matched Betty’s blue bloomers.
Baseball is business blessed beyond belief.
Brook’s brother boiled beetle bugs for breakfast.
The bow of the boat blocked the big barge.
Bill’s barrel belly button bares birthday bacteria.
Baboons beam beautiful ballads for bitter berry bush butter.
Bonnie’s buttons battle the bulge....

What gospels on sunday afternoon
Are four quarters male members tune
With flat screens on wall?
The chair-men want football
And shall yell like a wild baboon


Author's note: This poem was inspired by Lori Hopkin's "This ones for the guys" which is worth a good look.  My apologies to all baboons who are much gentler and finer than I.  Sad to resort to using their species as a stereotype just for the sake of a rhyme....

i must be king, the sole lord,
whether baboons and monkeys
draw a long stream of blood 
whether allies of men-beasts
parade an endless blood-bath
there! a sacrifice of infants
of pregnancies of still-births
of gray-hairs that forcefully 
must fall before my leopard’s claws –
i must be king, the sole lord,
the dry tears of the monkeys
would not move the tiger’s jaws
ever-ready in the belligerent
defense of my palm-coin
in this civilized city of africa....
