The Truth about the Evolution of Man!

 "Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree,

   Discussing things as they’re said to be."

Said one to the others, "Now listen you two,

   There’s a certain rumour that can’t be true,

   That man descended from our noble race -

 The very idea,'tis 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

   Till they hardly know who is their mother.

  And another thing you will never see

   A monk build a fence around a coconut tree,

   And let the coconuts go to waste

   Forbidding all other monks a taste.

   Why, if I put a fence around this tree,

   Starvation would force you to steal from me.

 Here’s another thing a monk won’t do:

   Go out at night and get in a stew,

   Or use a gun, or club, or knife,

   To take some other monkey’s life.

  Yes!  Man descended, the ornery cuss,

   But brothers, he didn’t descend from us!" [Author Unknown]

Yes...that's the truth about the evolution of man!

And now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to tend to important monkey-business!

I just had to share this with you...next up will be the continuation of the Franschhoek post.
