Lessons from zoo life

the Williams  family took a trip to the zoo

Mike and his wife Sue had three kids

Jenny Lucy and Rob were all excited

heading straight for the chimpanzee enclosure

they laughed at the chimps through the glass

Jenny made a funny face

a chimp approached the glass

he made a face back at her

Lucy held up a banana 

another chimp ran to the glass and pointed

he wants the banana laughed Rob

the chimp gestured to his mouth

the chimp then pointed to the sky

he wants us to throw it over said Mike

they all laughed more

time to go said Sue as they headed to the penguins

chimps have their own non-verbal language

Bonzo said why to these people come here

just to make stupid faces at us

they cannot even speak our language

dumb humans show us a banana said Bubbles

but ignore our hunger cries

we even tell them how to throw it to us

but they cannot figure out how to do it

I feel sorry for them said Pankun

they are so unsophisticated

totally lacking any intelligence 

its very sad that they can’t understand us

Aldo said I have a plan

we should climb out of here and follow them home

then patiently teach each one how to communicate with us

I dream that one day they will evolve into intelligent life forms said Kiki
