Author: Rudyard Kipling
Here we go in a flung festoon,
Half-way up to the jealous moon!
Don't you envy our pranceful bands?
Don't you wish you had extra hands?
Wouldn't you like if your tails were -- so --
Curved in the shape of a Cupid's bow?
Now you're angry, but -- never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two --
Something noble and grand and good,
Won by merely wishing we could.
Now we're going to -- never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
All the talk we ever have heard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird --
Hide or fin or scale or feather --
Jabber it quickly and all together!
Excellent! Wonderful! Once again!
Now we are talking just like men.
Let 's pretend we are... never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
This is the way of the Monkey-kind.

YOU CRY FOR SOMETHING.
YOU WANT FOR SOMEONE.
YOU LUST AFTER THEM.
GREED FEELS YOUR HEART.
YOUR MIND BECOMES UNSETTLED.
YOUR WANTS ARE YOUR MAIN FOCUS.
ONCE YOU OBTAINED YOUR WANTS, NEEDS & DESIRES.
TO KNOW YOU HAVE WON OVER THAT PERSON.
KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
YOU QUICKLY WANT TO MARCH TO A DIFFERENT TUNE.
YOU START TO BORED.
KNOWING THE CHASE & THRILL IS GONE.
NOW YOU THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW YOU HAVE CONNED THEIR MIND & STOLE THEIR HEART.
TOOK THEIR LOVE & IN RETURN GAVE THEM A HEART MADE OF STEEL.
A TRAIL OF TEARS IN THE WAKE OF YOUR DEPARTURE.
CAUSE FOR YOU IT'S JUST THE CHASE.....
