They said he was a fool.
Cried this pretentious Ape one day,
“I’m going to be a Man!
And stand upright, and hunt, and fight,
And conquer all I can!
I’m going to cut down forest trees
To make my houses higher!
I’m going to kill the Mastodon.
I’m going to make a fire!”
Loud screamed the Anthropoidal Apes
