Evolution...ism

The monkey took a slender twig
And poked it down a crack
Gave it an up and downward jig
And promptly pulled it back.

 

Full of creepy-crawly things
Which he licked off speedily
(Quite ignoring all the stings)
Then poked back greedily.

 

Cripes! said Jonathan-surprised
Haven`t we all been fools
Never - till now - to realise
That monkeys can use tools!

 

So I seized the opportunity   
(My P.C. in such condition)
To ask him to recruit for me
Some monkey-electrician.

Thanks for the comments folks.

(but -after - skipping through the blogs...isn`t there supposed to be some sort of a general election going on somewhere?)

Where is everyone?

Half a million years on, Harry, and I still do this. Fishing.

Very droll Harry. I like it a lot. It certainly caused me to giggle.
