Oh they really are sooo cute. And that tail is strong. Had friends who had two of them and they were so sweet and those tails were as strong as their arms and they used them just like another hand. Good stuff Caren. God Bless, JB

Hi Caren, Monkeys are like clowns, always performing. Your choice of the Haibun form of Haiku works so well....a fun read! Take Care, Paulette
