The Monkey and the Glasses

Chimp the monkey felt one day

his eyes were getting dimmer,

and if banana was too ripe

became so hard to tell,

so off to the magician went he

in quest of cure or spell.

It’s easy cure the wizard told him

not even need for spell.

Glasses is all I’ll give

easy to use as well.

I never heard of such a magic

The monkey said in owe.

Please can you give me just a dozen

I’ll take with me to go.

A dozen pairs the monkey took

and off he went on trail.

He tried them on his head and also

balanced them on his tail.

But even though he made big effort

His eyesight stayed as frail.

Do I really look that dense

the monkey cried annoyed.

This magic thing just makes no sense

it’s nothing but a fraud.

And in fury he threw and shuttered

the cure he thought was flawed.
