The Monkey's Disgrace

The Monkey's Disgrace
(Author Unknown)

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree,
Discussing things that are said to be;
Said one to the others, "Now listen you two,
There's a certain rumor that can't be true:
That man descended from our noble race,
The very idea is a disgrace!

"No monkey 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 them on from one to the other,
Till they scarcely know who is their mother.

"And another thing you'll never see,
A monk build a fence round a coconut tree,
And let the coconuts go to waste,
Forbidding all other monks to taste;
Why, if I put a fence around a tree,
Starvation will 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, a club or a knife,
To take some other dumb monkey's life!
Yes, they can theorize and they can discuss
but, brother, he didn't descend from us!"

I really like it too, it's not loaded with a mess of religious opinion.

And it is said that humans are the smartest and have the greatest power of reason than all of God's creatures.

I'll tell you a truth, there is nothing worse than a human who has lost their power to reason!

But its human reasoning that created the religious mess so....
