Veteran Move
I once met a chimpanzee
over beers at the legion
who claimed he'd fought
in the Gombe War--
looked up his record
only to find out
he didn't even serve
in Tanzania during the 70's
I called him out on stolen valor

did send troops to reinforce the '73 peace accords...

Funny as hell busker, and well worth waiting for the reveal. How you even remembered that video segment is amazing.
And Paul, now that I researched the Gombe War, your poem makes complete sense, and it has a really original twist.
