I'm still thinking of your owl poem and how much I loved it and was looking for another animal poem when i found this. This is a good poem too.

in our reverence, we often forget what is worthy of it... thus leading to lives filled with repentance after repentance... Wow, Andrea, you've written quite the thought provoker here. Thanks and congrats. Happy eve~N

A man and a monkey are not so different. A monkey gets angry and a man get's bent. I think that both do pay a price. For being unkind and not very nice.
