THE BIG BABOON
by: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)
- he Big Baboon is found upon
- The plains of Cariboo:
- He goes about with nothing on
- (A shocking thing to do).
- But if he dressed respectably
- And let his whiskers grow,
- How like this Big Baboon would be
- To Mister So-and-so!
"The Big Baboon" is reprinted from The Bad Child's Book of Beasts. Hilaire Belloc. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., 1896. |
