Even Monkeys Fall from Trees



They’re built to swing and climb around,
but even monkeys fall from trees.
With grace and skill that’s well renowned,
they’re built to swing and climb around,
yet some are broken by the ground
while branches cackle in the breeze.
They’re built to swing and climb around,
but even monkeys fall from trees.
