Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Teasing Ap"peel" - LP Zoo

I read a poem, "Banana School,"

By Billy Collins who contends

That apes and monkeys as a rule

Peel bananas by other ends

Than the ends that humans prefer.

So I went to Lincoln Park Zoo

To test if this theory was sure.

Lots of unpeeling I did do

In front of monkeys and of apes.

They watched me as I did unpeel,

But all seemed a bit out of shapes

That no reward was in the deal.

I gobbled each banana down,

And each monkey and ape did frown.
