Charles Garcia - Monkey in a Tree

Yesterday, I told you of a monkey in a tree, fenced in to protect him from harm, is it the monkey in danger you or me?
You try feeding me peanuts, carrots, to name a few, laughing in my face, making jesters too!

Can’t you see you are making fun of yourselves, not of me:
If only you could be in my place, looking out at you,
Its so funny folks for the joke is really not of me: , but that of you,

For I am doing great being pampered, as everything for my convenience is there for me, can’t you see? Best of all its all for free,
So please take a good look make a funny face, if you please,
For you are the ones that paid a dollar to make a jest at me,
I see, that the one big problem lies with you.
So take one good look before you leave, for you are the one that has the Problem, as mine be tax-free.

Charles Garcia
