Illustration from Animal Analogues: Verses and Illustrations

To see her shape Invert the ape!

The Apes, from whom we are descended, Hang ape-x down from trees suspended, And since we find them in the trees, We term them arbor-iginees. We all have seen the monkey-shines, Cut up by those who pluck from vines The Grape and then subject its juices To Baccha-nalian abuses.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
