Stanley Cooper - People and Monkeys

I think it’s most implausible
We come from apes or monkeys
Yet I wouldn’t be surprised at all
To learn we come from donkeys

We're very sure we've apes surpassed
Our egos so dictate it
Since most of us are so half-assed
Mules might be related

We seem to be inclined to fall
When swinging through the trees
There’s no substantial proof at all
We come from chimpanzees

If Mr. Darwin's proven right
With his people-ape conclusions
Most of us will feel uptight
With our super-being illusions

Stanley Cooper
