Monkey See, Monkey Do Poem by John Sensele
Monkey See, Monkey Do
Boys in their fathers' moulds grow
Recycling habits and tidbits seen
Enacted as fathers punches at mothers throw
As fathers' tantrums grow mean.
Boys in domestic settings grow well mannered
Aping fathers who set mellow manners' templates
Boys replicate to avoid growing ill-mannered
When in future homes meals wives serve on peace plates.
Boys imbibe fathers' Bible of Attitudes
Embracing silence and balance
Gleaned from meek fathers' habitudes
That shy away from insolence insistence.
Boys braggart they become
If home templates preach arrogance
Whereas stable husbands in a future home
Grow from cultures promoting peace with a wife's dance.
