CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

The Naked Ape Had taken shape, Furnished a cave And learnt to shave.

Then the pride of all the ages Is shut up in cages, Finds there's nothing to do In the human zoo.

Held sooner go back And hunt with the pack, Says 'I enjoy the pursuit When I'm more hirsute.

I couldn't care less About being hairless.'
