"Great green gorillas growing grapes in a gorgeous glass greenhouse"
Must handle their charges with maternal care.
Each grape that is picked is the result of a
Squinty-eyed, sweaty-necked, opposable-thumbed process.
Passersby often take bets on how the gorillas became green:
A flamingo-like effect from only eating grapes? Lack of exposure to outside air?
They only look green from outside the greenhouse?
A few brave souls have even tapped on the glass and tried to mime
To the gorillas in the hopes of solving the riddle.
But great green gorillas growing grapes in a gorgeous glass greenhouse
Must handle their charges with maternal care,
And do not have time for charades.
I love the image of extremely serious gorillas doing extremely serious things.
