World Forum of Monkeys

In the year 00000 countless monkeys met in an imaginary tundra palace to discuss security of their forest life Chimpanzee was the chair monkey and secretary was tropical baboon there was no book nor pen for records members were to write using bananas and tree leaves to be used as papers but the meeting was interrupted as tails became an issue of gossip Some tails were long, short, curved, thick others beautiful, ugly and a few bushy short-tails were mocked, the sported feared as they could be relatives to leopard They talked about sweet bananas and fought over them for meals not as pens majority spent time weeping for bananas but time went and the meeting collapsed winter snow engulfed many members covering the forest palace without notice and so the grand meeting was a grand fuss Squatting on snow, baby Penguin wondered; Why should monkeys so intelligent, animals endowed with such vast wealth, focus on none issues of tails and bananas, as the centripetal force of their existence?
