The Fourth Monkey

Three monkeys sitting on a bench,

The first monkey said I cannot hear,

The second monkey said I cannot see,

The third monkey kept quiet when the first,said,

I am deaf but I can see and speak, second,

I am blind but can hear and speak, the,

Third one was quiet but could see and hear

What do you see the blind monkey asked?

The deaf monkey said, An empty world,

The dumb monkey kept silent,

Then along came the fourth monkey,

He could see, hear, and speak.

The first one said you can see,

The second one said you can hear,

The third one in sign language you can speak,

The fourth monkey thought you are deaf,

Blind, and dumb you are lucky you know.

You three, are, not missing anything.

The world is empty, there is nothing to see.

The world is free from sound, nothing to hear,

The world is silent, nothing to speak,

But to me who can speak, hear, and see.

He told himself.

I too wish I was like you three, for what,

I speak, see, and hear, in my daily life;

Is nothing but nonsense, abuse, lies, but,

You three are in a better world, a better place.

Than all of us who can see speak and hear.
