Red herrings tend to be trustworthy, But lead us astray. Orange orangutans are trustworthy: If it looks menacing, it is; If it grunts, it's meaningful; If it moves, it's unpredictable. In captivity they're studied As evolutionary wonders, But it's still an orange orangutan, Pounding his chest.

Mr. Orangutan
Red herrings tend to be trustworthy, But lead us astray. Orange orangutans are trustworthy: If it looks menacing, it is; If it grunts, it's meaningful; If it moves, it's unpredictable. In captivity they're studied As evolutionary wonders, But it's still an orange orangutan, Pounding his chest.
