September 2, Chimpanzees and Us

Chimpanzee troops have alpha males; we humans also do.
Chimp males all fight for dominance; the winners get to screw.
And likewise, human alpha males compete to dominate.
A good example, Donald Trump, who likes to fornicate.

Chimpanzee females must assume a secondary role.
The alpha males get to assert that they are in control.
It’s been that way historically in Man’s societies.
So, one must ask the question: are these inborn properties?

So, do some primate genes dictate that males should rule the roost?
In looking at our cousins, such a thought may be deduced.
Some men are made uncomfortable when women are the boss.
When they work for a woman, some men feel a sense of loss.

Nobody earned a pale skin or their one Y chromosome.
So, why should these determine who leads countries or a home?
Both Donald Trump and JD Vance drag out old sexist tropes
For denigrating Kamala; now we’ll see how she copes.

She’s not afraid of Donald but he seems afraid of her,
So, he attacks her sex and brains; and from that, we infer,
Despite our evolution, Trump remained a troglodyte.
He simply cannot comprehend a woman who’s quite bright.

The world is changing, although Trump and Vance think it should not.
Some women freed from bed and kitchen: a forbidden thought.
The future is now coming fast; in fact, the future’s here.
When Trump and Vance get beat this Fall, most of the world will cheer.

To have a female head of state, our country’s rather late. (1)
So, cast your vote for Kamala, let Trump go copulate.
Though women may now turn him down, (he’s neither young, nor slim,)
And may not have much money, once Tish James is through with him.

It’s Harris-Walz or Trump and Vance, the new against the old.
The only arguments for Trump are marred by lies he’s told.
Let’s face it, Trump’s a criminal, as court cases have shown.
We are not chimpanzees, so let us prove our brains have grown.

(1) Look up Hatshepsut, Pharoah of Egypt, Elizabeth 1 of England, Catherine the Great of Russia, and, more recently, Golda Meir, of Israel, Indira Ghandi, of India, Maggie Thatcher, of England, Angela Merkel, of Germany, and Claudia Sheinbaum, of Mexico. There are more.
