Henry went to a Maryland hospital
it was a research hospital
and took a picture of an ape
in a restraining chair.
And took it to an international
picture wire
called Black Star
which sent it round the world..
and PM Gandhi saw and knew
that the Navy nad violated the treaty
.. and she cancelled monkey export
.. because Henry in 5 hours
.. cared enough to reach for
.. one bright and reachable... star!

Footnote: to Henry Spira
who was horrified by the
sight of the crying primate
not allowed out of her chair
.. night and day, her legs
cramping, her eyss shedding
silent tears
