Tom's Monkey Jungle, Hi-Way 54
Eldon (MO), Linen unused

Description:
Evolution the monkeys viewpoint. Three monkeys sat in a Cocoanut tree discussing things as they're 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 and ruined her life. And you've never known a mother monk to leave her baby with others to bunk, Or pass them on from one to another Til they harly known whom is their mother, And another thing! You will never see a men build a fence round a cocoanut tree And let the cocoanuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks to taste. Why if I put a fence around this tree Starvation would force you to steal form me. Here's another thing a mon 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 brothr he didn't descend from us."
