Description

The Baboon is a fearful ape,

From him there's really no escape.

The highest tree, the deepest cave,

From him is powerless to save.

Although his form you may not see,

He drops upon you suddenly.

And if his way your footsteps tend,

It practically means the end.

(This original accompanying poem, pertaining to the image, will be included with your print. Firstly, a copy neatly pasted to the rear of the backing board, and a copy as a separate sheet for your reference.)
