The Monkey-Man's Dilemma
Geoff Hauser Would you live among the savages If it meant you could be free? Would you sunbathe in a mud bath? Would you sleep up in a tree? Would you give away your money To the children of the world? Would you donate your computer To a school of gifted squirrels? Do you find it much appealing Sitting in a suit and tie Dozing off in the divorce court While your wife is telling lies? I have heard of Eastern mystics Meditating in the rain And I've often thought Thoreau Might have made it rather plain I would grow a tail to swing by I would munch on nuts and leaves And I wonder if a holy monk Can laugh like chimpanzees? © Copyright 2001, 2003, 2004, 2011 by Geoff Hauser |
