Spunky Monkeys and Madrid Orchids, Oh My

Have you ever heard of the Monkey-Face Orchid?
             They are common in the steep mounts of Madrid. 
It resembles the shape of a Cauchin Monkey’s face and eyes,
   when I saw this unusual flower I was like…”oh my!”
The Monkey-Faced Orchid’s petals grow amid. 

             Capuchin Monkeys are small and only seven pounds,
it prances with ***** with extreme leaps and bounds. 
   The face is tan looking just like my favorite cappuccino 
with a furry black coat that runs to his legs and toes.  
            Apparently, they make the most annoying sounds!

            Some monkeys are pets, like flowers they’re groomed 
and their curious personality can never be assumed. 
  When sunshine reflects upon both faces like twins, 
they shine with joy as their Summer day begins.
         Unlike the Capuchin, the Orchid will always smell perfumed. 

These two things created by mother’s natures strike
          can seem peculiar as they both look immensely alike.
I’d like to sow the seeds of the Monkey-Face Orchid
   and would save a Capuchin abandoned, God forbid!
              It’s funny how two things that echo can be so unalike.
