Darwin＇s Mistake
（author unknown)
Three monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things as they＇re said to be.
Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two,
There is a certain rumor that can＇t be true
That man descended from our noble race.
That very idea is a disgrace.
No monkey ever deserted his wife,
Starved her babies or ruined her life.
And another thing you will never see:
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let the coconuts go to waste
Forbidding all the other monkeys to taste.
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 on a stew,
And use a gun, or club, or knife
To take some other monkey＇s life.
Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss -
But, brother, he didn＇t descend from us.
