EVOLUTION "THE MONKEYS VIEWPOINT" Three monkey's sat on a coconut tree Discussing things as there 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! It's a dire disgrace! No monkey ever deserted his wife, starved her baby or 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 another till they hardly know who is their Mother! And another thing you will never see A monkey build a fence 'round a coconut tree and let the coconuts go to waste forbidding all other monkey's to taste. Why! If I put a fence around this tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. Here's another thing a monkey won't do Go out at night and get in a stew, Or use a gun, or club or knife To take another monkey's life. Yes! Man descended, the ornery cuss But brother, he didn't descend from US!! This was written in about 1954 in the journal of Stella Howerth Perry.
