The Chimpanzee

Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

CHIL-DREN, be-hold the Chim-pan-zee:
He sits on the an-ces-tral tree
From which we sprang in ag-es gone.
I'm glad we sprang: had we held on,
We might, for aught that I can say,
Be hor-rid Chim-pan-zees to-day.

[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: Chimpanzee
