RAMBLINGS OF THE MIND

China stood up and kissed Gino. Softly but steadily she said,

 

“I would like to assure you, Gino, that for as long as we both live, I am yours and you are mine. And that is so monkey business. The whole idea of faithfulness and loyalty rises above choosing one from the other. Because it is not that I love Dave less, when I say I love you, Gino. But because I chose to live with you, I will forever be faithful and loyal to you.”

 

THREE DAYS LATER

 

"From this day onwards, and for all the capuchin monkeys in this park, I declare that no promiscuity is allowed. We shall observe the practice of mating with only one partner. ” Tubby shouted in his usual loud voice.

 

All the monkeys shook the branches they were standing on as a show of approval for the new law of the land (or of the trees).

 

The following day, Haig was expelled from the park and was sent to the zoo, where he eventually died. He was eaten by a boa constrictor.

 

Lovelyn and Leo got married after a week, and it was considered as the wedding of the century.

 

Spikes and Tubby ruled over all the troops to a time which most monkey historians consider as the Age of Enlightenment.

 

Until of course that day when a young monkey insisted that he will not agree that monkeys come from humans. The historians could not agree on whether his name was Darren, Darlene, or Darvin.
