Your information regarding the retirement home for chimps absolutely captured my imagination. So here is a haiku I wrote for you. For the painters in our group, you might like to play around with the tiny Japanese haiku poetic form. It's just three lines, the first line exactly 5 syllables, the second line exactly 7 syllables, the third line 5 syllables. I scribble out a haiku whenever I want to warm up my mind because the form forces you to express big ideas in very few words. The best part is that, if you don't like this particular haiku, well, hell, it was written by a CHIMP, OKAY?!
From A Chimp in Tim's Chimp Retirement House
Under the flicker
of widescreen, high-def TV
I dream of forests.

I love that...
It is like a Jack Handy Deep Thoughts for Monkeys.
I love it too --- the chimp has the same life as most Americans, with lower rent!
