Wedding Ring In Tail

Monkey wedded a baboon
in the Banana temple it was
squirrel was presiding clergy

Monkey sat and meditated;
“No, to a ring in my fingers
My toes are dirty and clumsy
The ears are a shapeless beef

What exactly should I do?
Now, I know the best option
Ring must be worn there
There, there in my long tail

I can hide it between my legs
and deny having wedded
before my monkey girlfriends
Hurray, I have the best vision”

And so it happened as she chose
He wore wedding ring in the tail
But every time he wore it got lost

Whenever her husband asked;
“Why can’t you keep the ring safe?
She answered smiling; 
“Whatever happens behind me,
 Surely cannot be my concern”.
