A chapter in the book Love of Animals

Chimpanzee Talk

by Bucketlist

Male Oh no! the zoo’s open - here they come
Every time these humans come past
They think we're dumb
 
Female  Their little ones are so funny
they want to come in to play

Male Where did they learn how to wrestle, play ball
and swing from tree to tree.
Find the stars of "Planet of the Apes?”
They are OUR descendants
 just trying to take credit that’s all
Ooh! I’ll just shake my fist like this (demonstrates)

Female Tarsi baby, calm down
They study us because they KNOW
they can learn a lot from us
they just like to tease us

Male I just don't like being stared and laughed at

 Female pull faces at them or bare your teeth
They think that's cute!
The human kids love making faces 
trying to copy US
