monkey Business

tetrameter sonnet

 

 

 

Monkey Business.

 

Behold the agile chimpanzee

swing easily from tree to tree

He sees no reason he should be

 related in any way to me

 I am quite sure the Chimpanzee

would deny vociferously

That men spring from his family tree.

Regard it as stupidity.

 A claim which has to denied.

Which touches on his family pride

the chimpanzees are satisfied

that followers of Darwin lied

Despite the similarities

men aren’t as wise as chimpanzees.

I like this from this chimps point of view..telling Darwinist's they lied. Nice job! Nice title. I agree, it's monkey business! -:3 )~~~

Oh, I love this! How enjoyable ... No, we aren�t nearly as wise as chimpanzees! But sometimes we write some pretty darned good poetry ... Like this little gem!

AND you are always so unerringly neat on form and meter. I really enjoyed this. xxx
