ESCAPE THE APE<\/p>\n

When I went to school this week,
\nTeacher had crazy things to say,
\nSaid humans descended from apes,
\nWeren’t created on God’s 6th day.<\/p>\n

I found this notion so confusing,
\nSo I chose to take another look,
\nAnd thumbed through the pictures,
\nThat I found in my science book.<\/p>\n

They were really quite ridiculous,
\nPerhaps they were meant to amuse,
\nBut you will have to forgive me,
\nBecause I reject your ungodly views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
