The Monkey's Disgrace

 
 Three monkey's 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 leave her babies with others to bunk,"
 "Or pass from one on to another"
 "So they scarcely know 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, a club or a knife,"
 "To take some other monkey's life,"
 "Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss,"
 "But, brother, he didn't descend from us!"
