Hiking through the forest,
In search of a monkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s that rustle in the bush?
Is that a monkey?
No, it’s a focused cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s that swinging from the trees?
Is that a monkey?
No, it’s a scavenging crow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s that clamor?
Is it a monkey?
No, it’s gushing water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s that brown figure in the bush?
Is it a monkey?
No, it’s a rotting stump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never did find any monkeys,
But in the search,
I discovered
A whole forest<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Blast from the Past:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The trees are gorgeous,
If only I look up and
Engage with the world<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
