Look over there and see a new type of breed,
A discoloured clown ready to feed!
On goes the screeching and whining,
The scratching, the biting.
Oh look; now they're fighting...

The eyelashes are so long and caked,
The face looks like its been slow-baked,
Wrinkly as an old crone,
Looking like a traffic cone.
If respect is what these animals seek in this world,
They shouldn't run around with an their bum out:
Seeking attention to redeem self-doubt.

They are all naturally beautiful and fun,
So why not go play in the sun?
Then, the fur would match the face.

But I suppose monkeys are as they are,
And I'll probably see one today at the bar.
