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 another,
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 a taste:
Why if I'd but a fence around the tree,
Starvation would force you to steal from me!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Here's another thing a monk won't do---
Go out at night and get on a stew.
Or use a gun or club or knife,
To take some other monkey's life.
Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss,
But, my brother, he didn't descend from us.!!
