He was born in the Slangkop troop
\nA complex hierarchal place
\nA fascinating family
\nWhere he recognised each face
\nIt is very unsettling
\nFor baboons to find their feet
\nWhen they lose sight of family
\nIt really does defeat
\nTheir objective of living
\nOccasioned by the way
\nThere is comfort and a bearing
\nIn how they work and play<\/p>\n
As we know he was trapped
\nAnd rescued
\nbut instead was then
\nReturned to Tokai
\nWhich was alien and led
\nTo what is a bout of suffering
\nHis misfortune we can say
\nHe is in a sea of troubles
\nConcerning him more each day<\/p>\n
He Should be home in Slangkop
\nYou can feel his misery
\nInstead he is with strangers
\nAnd it\u2019s is a mystery
\nAs we know they are social creatures
\nThe family is their bond
\nHe now feels the no-hoper
\nWhen Previously was fond
\nOf family and all of his friends
\nHis calamity appears
\nHapless and just miserable
\nAnd he is close to tears<\/p>\n
He needs the help of all of us
\nTo go back where he belongs
\nPrimates miss each other so
\nThey know rights from wrongs
\nHe really needs some help right now
\nTo find his way back where
\nAnd we all can help him
\nAnd show his troop we care.<\/p>\n
