Politics
The monkey clans assembled
Each turning of the moon,
And how the jungle trembled
From midnight to the noon!
They screeched and howled and hooted,
Ignored no hinted slight,
As loudly they disputed
Each noble monkey's right.
They held a grand election,
A leafy crown to bring
With bows and genuflection
To coronate their king.
Surrounded by his flunkies
And chosen by acclaim,
The king of all the monkeys
Was monkey just the same.
