Tree Housin’…

Built for us monkeys,

Till we got older and more hunky,

Went up on it the other day, we did,

Just like when I was a kid…

Apparently our combined weight,

Now that we were grown,

Was too much for,

Its foundation of stone…

The old girl did a bit of a moan and a groan,

Giving us fair warning of an impending doom,

Crashing down she came,

Landing with a hollow thud,

Or was that the sound of my head,

When it hit the mud…?
