Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Tarzan

Tarzan, king of the apes, arose
From Edgar Rice Burrough's dream mind,
Who wanted to tale tell, so chose
Apes of imaginary kind,
The manzani somewhere between
Real apes and humans who did raise
The white orphan boy in the scene
Of dark and deep Africa days,
Early 20th century.
21st century Tarzan
Racist and sexist deemed to be
Would be a p.c. naughty man.

Fictional characters don't act
As bad as real humans in fact.
