Monkey Eating A Donut Poem by Robert R. Railey

Monkey Eating a Doughnut

As far as anyone can tell, we humans don't actually have tails, but many of the other primates do; and sometimes, even monkeys eat doughnuts
Unfortunately, though, we humans can and do tell tales; however, our primate cousins don't have the luxury of being able to lie
So in my opinion about the only real difference that I can see between the two species is that we humans are able to ask for forgiveness for our transgressions; whereas the rest of the primates are made to suffer some type of punishment for their misdeeds
They say that life here on earth began with the Big Bang and from then on to the present day there are some who say that we humans haven't really improved upon our behavior all that much
But just for the sake of argument, let's say that we humans have done a real bang-up job in the department of evolution; and that we have also come a long way from the caveman days
Therefore, it must be said that modern man is still the best darn primate on the face of the planet: and even though we may act foolishly at times we are supposed to know better; and on certain occasions we have even been known to atone for our sins and transgressions
