Dear Miss Monkey Manners Ii

Dear Miss Monkey Manners, I hope that you can solve a problem for an old baboon, I’ve said some things to a dear friend of mine and it makes me feel like I’m a buffoon. I said that, “God created Charles Darwin because he was so disappointed in monkeys.” How was I to know when I spoke that he and Darwin’s uncle were at one time bunkies? I only meant it as a passing humor aimed at pointing out our man like flaws, I didn’t know that this friend and Charles Darwin shared the same grandpas? Anyway, now he’s mad at me and called me a bigot so now I need a plan, I want to show him, that except for their smell, there’s nothing I hold against man? But if he doesn’t get over it pretty quickly and take that chimp from off his shoulder, I’m going to get sick of his blue butt attitude and kick him in his banana holder. My Dear and Gentle Monkey “Man”, I think that the time has come for action, A stinging shot to his low land region might give us both great satisfaction. This baboon friend of yours is a member of a new and obnoxious breed, We must be rid of him and his ilk before political correctness plants a seed. When the time comes that we can’t make a joke about how man came from we apes, Is the same time that a never ending stream of flying monkeys from my butt escapes. Don’t you dare offer up a single syllable of a word aimed at reconciliation. To make a slam of the works of man is the hallmark of simian civilization. Instead, the next time you see a group of men walking through your forest setting, Dare your misguided chum to go up and talk to them, he’ll swing away I’m betting. There is only one thing more distasteful to me than the babblings of a liberal Baboon, And that’s one who, when forced to face his own convictions, babbles a different tune.
