Or even Old Man of the Jungle
There is nothing worse
When writing a verse
To discover you have begun with a bungle

AnElephantCant deny that these animals
Are clearly much smarter than people
High in the tree tops
They build a cradle that rocks
These structures are quite unbelievable

Orang-utans use thick branches as scaffold
Interwoven with boughs that are springier
To ensure a good rest
Fine leaves line the nests
We have lived in hotels that were dingier

They build a new nest every evening
And sometimes one for an afternoon nap
100 feet above ground
A long way to fall down
We are sure that they do Mind the Gap

Although somewhat hirsute
But for eight years they stay at home with their mummy

Orang-utans are natural builders
Like Scots they are great engineers
An idea takes shape
