Prayer-Monkey Poem by Loke Kok yee
Prayer-Monkey
My lord Hanuman- - - - - - you are known to be fair
Only your judgement- - - - -can lift me from despair
A life spent trying- - - - - - - - to take over the troop
End up with a beating- - -and kicked from the group
Now this alpha male- - - - has been around too long
And no one could unseat him- he's much too strong
But you can make him fall- - - -from a tree most tall
Right to the jaws- - - - - -of the leopard on the floor
Then I'll rule the troop- - - -with all females to mate
At my advanced age- - - - - - - - I can no longer wait
Soon I'll be unable- - - - - then it's be much too late
Interesting supplication of the monkey before HANUMAN......... he wants 'fun' before it is too late! ! Enjoyed reading!
Hanuman, the Monkey God, has been referred in the passing. The prayer is not to invoke his powers but to unseat him for the sake of carnal pleasures. The humour is quite eloquent. Thanks, Loke.

The harsh life of a young male monkey is well penned here and his attempts to usurp are very important to his survival.
Very true and it is the same with all species. Thanks Simone
