Escape-Ape


"Another day, another dollar",
Still the bills are stacking taller,
And I look for retreat, a way to escape,
Maybe it's best to degrade to an ape...

Nothing to do but hang around trees,
Chill with your friends and scour for fleas,
Eat a banana, I see the appeal,
Of holding your dinner between toe and heel.

No need to play chess, no one to impress,
Your very existence, your sign of success,
Down in the jungle, the joy it would bring,
To reach out, grab a vine and swing.

They might take your picture for nature TV
Or put you in a zoo but that's alright with me,
I think that I'm ready to start shifting shape,
It could be kind of cool if I were an ape.
