Evolution: A Monkey’s Perspective
(Author Unknown)
Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be.
Said one to the others: “Now listen, you two
There’s a rumor around that can’t be true,
That man descended from our noble race.
The very idea is a great disgrace.
No monkey has ever deserted his wife,
Starved her babies, and ruined her life.
And you’ve never known a mother monk,
To pass her babies on to another,
Till they scarcely knew who is their mother.
Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do:
Go out at night and get on a stew,
Or use a gun or club or knife,
To take some other monkey’s life.
Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss,
But brother, he didn’t descend from us.”
