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
