.
Three monkeys sat in a coconut dee
Discussing things as they're said to be -
S id one to the others
"Now listen you two
There's certain rumor that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race
The very idea issure a disgrace
. No monkey has ever deserted his wife -
Staxved her babies and ruined her life
And you've never known. another monk
To leave her babies with another to bunk
Or pass them on'from one to. another
Till Theyhardly know which one, is their mother
And another thing you will neversee
A monk build a fence around a coconut tree
And ret the coconut waste
Forbidding all other monks to taste
Why, if 1. put a fence around' this tree
U
Starvation would force y.ou,to steal from me
C
And here's something else a monk won't do
Go out at night and get in a "stew"
,Or use a gun or a club or knife
To take some other poor monkey's life
Yes, man descended -the ornery cuss-
. But, brother, he didn't descend from us
