'Nother Poem Copyrighted

A few line from a longer poem I called: Museum of Monkey Mythology:

So now ten million years have passed
And mankind's day approaches fast
See next this DRYOPITHECUS
So much advanced, it seems to us
With rounded skull and great long arms
And other early apish charms
That we deduced from just a tooth
And jawbone fragments, that's the truth
Some tiny pieces, two or three
Set him in your family tree!

RAMAPITHECUS, there on your left
A tribute to our artists, deft
Jaws and teeth, G. Lewis found
Broken in the hard packed ground
But he was 50 inches tall
Brain the size of a billiard ball
Hair on his back, nails on his toes
How we learned that, nobody knows
Ancestral to man, can be no doubt
Ramaapithecus, can't do without!

1984 Don Martini
