The MONKEY'S VIEWPOINT OF LIFE!

THREE MONKEYS SAT IN A COCOANUT TREE
DISCUSSING THINGS AS THEY'RE SAID TO BE;
SAID ONE TO THE OTHER, "NOW LISTEN, YOU TWO,
THERE'S A CERTAIN RUMOR THAT CAN'T BE TRUE.
THAT MAN DESCENDED FROM OUR NOBLE RACE,
THE VERY IDEA!... IT'S A DIRE DISGRACE;
NO MONKEY EVER DESERTED HIS WIFE,
STARVED HER BABY AND RUINED HER LIFE,
AND YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN A MOTHER MONK
TO LEAVE HER BADIES WITH OTHERS TO BUNK
OR PASS THEM ON FROM ONE TO ANOTHER
TIL THEY SCARCELY KNOW WHO IS THEIR MOTHER.
AND ANOTHER THING! YOU'LL NEVER SEE
A MONK BUILD A FENCE ROUND A COCOANUT TREE,
AND LET THE COCOANUTS GO TO WASTE,
FORBIDDING ALL OTHER MONKS A TASTE.
WHY, IF I PUT A FENCE AROUND THIS TREE
STARVATION WOULD FORCE YOU TO STEAL FROM ME.
HERE'S ANOTHER THING A MONK WON'T DO:
GO OUT AT NIGHT AND GET IN A STEW;
OR USE A GUN, OR CLUB, OR KNIFE
TO TAKE SOME OTHER MONKEYS LIFE.
YES, MAN DESCENDED, THE ORNERY CUSS,
BUT, BROTHER, HE DIDN'T DESCEND FROM US!
