Are you a Mankey or Monkey

Both are primates, both can smile
Though mankeys have no tail.
One is wild still and free,
The other found in only zoos.
Can you guess which one is you?
Maybe neither 'cause you're a mousekey?

That's a fun and witty poem you penned there my friend! Enjoyed reading this. I think we're mankeys of both kinds, personally. Best wishes, Hiba <3
