How Did A Chimp Lose Freedom?

 

How did I end up here,

behind bars?

 

As I recall,

I didn't break any law.

 

Here is all I did.

 

I went into the Monkey Bar

on the 54th street,

ordered a few drinks from the girl

behind the bar.

 

Just as I had a little fun,

they found out I didn't have a tail.

They wanted to kick me out.

In resistance,

I swung my arms around.

 

Next thing I knew,

police came and arrested me.

 

On the way to the jail,

we passed the park

behind the bar.

I saw a few kids

swinging their arms

on a monkey bar there.

The police did nothing to them.

This isn't fair.

 

I'm a victim of humans’

chimpanzeephobia.

 

On the other hand,

people jail their own kind

for no reasons, let alone apes.

 

You ask what I'm going to do next?

I'm going to call

the local bar association

to get a good bartender

who can bail me out.

 

I'll get my freedom back

as long as I can afford the price.
