A Monkey's Viewpoint
Author Unknown


 

Three monkey's dining in a coconut tree
Were discussing something they thought shouldn't be.
Said one to the other, "No listen, you two....
Here, monkey's, is something that cannot be true.
That humans descent from our noble race.
Why, it's shocking....it is a terrible disgrace.
Whoever heard of a monkey deserting his wife?
Leaving a baby to starve, maybe ruin it's life?
And have you ever heard of mother monk
To leave her darling with strangers to bunk?
Human babies are handed from one to another
And some scarcely know the love of a mother.
I've never known a monkey so selfish to be
As to build a fence around a coconut tree...
So other monkey's couldn't get a taste
While bushels of coconuts were going to waste.
Why, if I'd put a fence around this coconut tree
Starvation would force you to steal food from me!
And here is another thing a monkey wouldn't do,
Seek a cocktail parlor and get on a stew!
Carouse, on a whoopee, disgracing his life.
Then reel madly home and beat up his wife.
Some humans think it fun...they fuss and they cuss...
They've descended from something, but it can't be from us.
