i HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT THE KRUGER PARK, I WAS ON THE VERANDAH READING A BOOK WHEN A MONKEY CLAMBERED ONTO A CLOSE BRANCH OF A TREE AND DID THE SAME TO ME - I CALLED ELIAS HE CAME QUICKLY AND CHASED HIM AWAY, BUT APPARENTLY THEY CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE. HAD A GOOD LAUGH WITH YOUR LIMERICK. SORRY ABOUT CAPS WAS ON THIS SENTENCE WHEN I NOTICED. BLESSINGS, JENNIFER

It is pretty hard not to notice they’re behind. They are pretty intelligent creatures, wonder what God was thinking when he created them as such. This is a great limerick Tom. I know Andrea’s going to like this one. Blessings xxoo
