Jungle Contemporary

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN 
IF ONE TRAINED A GROUP OF MONKEYS
TO PULL A LEVER AND 
THEY VOTED YOU 
GREATEST ARTIST EVER

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN 
IF ONE TRAINED A GROUP OF MONKEYS
TO COLLECT ART AND 
THEY BOUGHT YOUR ART AND 
MADE YOU RICH

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN 
IF ONE TRAINED A GROUP OF MONKEYS
AND MADE THEM CURATORS AND HEADS 
OF MUSEUMS AND GALLERIAS AND 
THEY DISPLAYED YOUR ART AND 
MADE YOU FAMOUS

WOULD YOU BE HAPPY 
EVEN IF BANANA ART BECOME GREAT ART
OR WOULD YOU AND THE MONKEYS 
SEEK OUT
THE LATEST
