Gorilla-suit man

Gorilla-suit Man

If life were a fancy-dress party
You'd be the man in a gorilla suit
Nameless.

Who would know it was you?
Encased within a
Gorilla.

Your eyes would peer through, take it all in.
Without interest.
Just a pint of Best.

If someone told you a joke
and you did not find it funny,
within your suit you would not have to laugh
and clutch your tummy.

You wouldn't give a hoot
in your gorilla suit.
