This is for Inigo.
B is for Baboon
I’m a baboon
A b-brilliant baboon
And I am much better
than you’ll ever be
At all things that matter –
Just look, and you’ll see!
I can wave in the breeze
I can swing through the trees
Search for ticks in my hair
while I hang off a chair…
Can you?
I can sleep warm and tight
In a nest overnight
And I never fall out
or wake up with a shout
Can you?
I can sit in the rain
Let it cool off my brain
as I ponder the innermost inward
of things..
such as why does a bird?
and do fishes have wings?
Can you?
BUT
where I really score..
where I really have more..
where I really am ruder and cruder and dude-r
than you’ll ever be..
Is that I have a bum
that is great to behold!
A bum that is brighter!
A bum that is bold!
A bum of such bigness!
A bum of such red!
A bum that would get you
sent straight home to bed!
A bum biddy bum biddy bum biddy bum!
Do you?
