Fable Of The Brown Ape

Farmer Emmerich went into his barnAnd found a cow suckling a serpentAnd a brown ape clanking a heavy chainSaid Farmer Emmerich to the apeNever ask me to come into this barn againSo LongFarewellSo LongFarmer Emmerich caught the serpentAnd the brown ape in a cageAnd took them into his houseHe fed the snake a vat of milkAnd when the ape rattled its chainHe tossed the ape a mouseSo LongGoodbyeFarewellThe villagers found out that Farmer EmmerichWas nurturing a serpentAnd descended upon his farmAll rabid in their blindnessThey dragged the snake outsideChopped it open with an axeAnd the ground soakedIn the milk of human kindnessSo LongFarewellSo LongBut the brown ape escapedAnd was heard to roam the rangesClanking its heavy chainDown in the valley it sang to its friendWhom he may never see again
