Monkeys


 

     Ther are many different types of primates, monkeys, gorrillas, chimpanzees, and patas.

    Woolly monkeys are the largest of the South American primates. They are native to the Amazon rainforest where they live their entire lives in the tree tops, feeding, sleeping and travelling above the ground with the help of powerful prehensile tails.

    This is a poem by Spike Milligan

                                  Look at all those monkeys
 
Look at all those monkeys
Jumping in their cage.
Why don't they all go out to work
And earn a decent wage?

    How can you say such silly things,
    And you a son of mine?
    Imagine monkeys travelling on
    The Morden-Edgware line!

But what about the Pekinese!
They have an allocation.
'Don't travel during Peke hour',
It says on every station.

    My Gosh, you're right, my clever boy,
    I never thought of that!
    And so they left the monkey house,
    While an elephant raised his hat.
