The Naked Ape

Lacking a mammal's normal coat of fur,

The species was nicknamed the naked ape,

But paradoxically they do prefer

To keep their bare-skinned bodies mostly draped. 

Some nudists walk among them, it is true,

And in the summer, on the beach you'll find

They get quite close to naked - yes they do -

But get too naked and you might be fined. 

In northern climes, when winter's in the air,

A snowstorm on your bare form is the worst. 

There are some Finns who will take up the dare,

But they warm up inside a sauna first. 

The nickname's catchy, but, who would have guessed?

The naked ape is almost always dressed!
