Monkeys Minus Tail Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Monkeys Minus Tail

Rating: 5.0


If peacocks and cuckoos us regale,
If parrots please our heart,
Butterflies-beasts apart,
There's a zoo in all us without fail,
For sure monkeys are we minus tail!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
It is euphemism I think to say that man is a social animal. Social or not, man is an animal. It is obvious with all the monkey business that man does.

Yes, but he talked about progressive evolution, man often proves him wrong with his regressive tendencies.

Thanks indeed for liking the limerick. Have you noticed, we often like some limericks without agreeing with what is said?

Certainly we are monkeys minus tails! The animal instincts are there in man. Some refine these instincts. Some never bother to refine themselves and are animals in essence though they live in homes and not in jungles! A beautiful satire!

Thanks indeed, Let 'beautiful' be the satire, But muse is on mankind entire.
