Read together

There once was a curious kid,
Who loved to explore and did,
Research on every creature he could find,
To prove they existed and weren't in his mind.

He looked for evidence and proof,
That they were real and not a spoof,
He watched footage of each primate,
Trying to explain their unique gait.

He reviewed each project and study,
To make sure there wasn't a hoax, how muddy,
His mind would be if he found out,
That something he loved was all about doubt.

But all of his hard work paid off,
He found what he was looking for, enough,
To prove that every creature exists,
And no one can say they're just myths.

So keep on exploring, dear kids,
And don't let anyone say you're just fibs,
For if you keep searching, you'll find,
The truth behind every creature, all kinds.
