Caffeine Song #1

My daughter took the silverback for a bear, which I forgave, for slimmer primates too can be mistook for bears, or simply taken, for no take was truly missed: some men are bears, though most may fancy themselves silverbacks,

surrounded by a sycophant harem, a gait of grace despite their heaving heft, lord of the lowland, shitting where they eat, be it the Congo or a Zone 6 cage, neighbouring some old NF shithole.

Fun fact: the first gorillas in Albion were fed on thumb-fat sausages and beer, being (mis?)taken for burly working folk, died younger than their workhouse dopplegangers as Darwin sleep-whispered his bastard truth.
