The Reason Why

By David Choate

____________________

 


The Orangutan moves about


Your Malayan canopy.

He swings along with nothing on-

An awful thing to see.  


I guess in Borneo you don't care

If you keep you britches on.

You can't begin to know it's sin.  

You can't see that it's wrong.


But the Big Guy way up in the clouds

Won't tolerate this long.

He'll waste you commies with tsunamis-

So think about a thong.

David Choate's life can be easily summarized: while men have always kept a safe distance him, women, on the other hand, quite literally (and inexplicably) roll over for the man. In the past common courtesy compelled him to grant a number of these petitions.


Consequently, Choate can not today pass through an international airport without being heckled by harpies holding up kids. This could explain Choate's current campaign for physical purity—which he inaugurates above with this strange overture to simian world which presumably he feels is the easier sell.
