Monkey See, monkey do,
holy monkeys throwing poo.
Ignore them or abhor them,
they know well what they do.
They're impossible to civilise,
though they dwell in marble rooms,
with no connections to real life
but plenty to baboons.
They don't pretend to make good sense,
they hide behind things creedal.
And you know their own tale of wealth
and a camel and a needle.
Monkey See, monkey do,
holy monkeys throwing poo.
(This is my reaction to our former President, Mary McAleese, being barred from speaking at a conference at The Vatican.)
