Monkey Shines

The monkey was staring at me
Oh, excuse me, sir was I staring
    (I guess I was)

He bared his teeth and laughed
I mimicked him, laughing too 
   Human see ~ Human do

For scene two, the human will eat a banana peel and throw away the banana! Thanks for the loud chuckle, John! Cheers, Gershon
