THE BIG BABOON by HILAIRE BELLOC

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE BIG BABOON IS FOUND UPON
Last Line: To Mister So-and-so!
Subject(s): BABOONS;
The Big Baboon is found upon
The plains of Cariboo:
He goes about with nothing on
(A shocking thing to do).

But if he dressed up respectably
And let his whiskers grow,
How like this Big Baboon would be
To Mister So-and-so!
