Monkey Business

Monkeys pick coconuts,
A thousand in a day,
Compare that to eighty by a human,
You'll see what I'm to say,

There exist schools, at least, in Thailand,
To which infants are bussed,
Harshly treated, isolated and caged,
To produce coconut water for us,

Regardless if you think monkeys can feel,
Think what this really is,
Indicative of how humans behave,
When they act as they wish,
Not everyone,
Good apples still abound,
But they get old and withered spending time,
Dealing with the bad apples that are found.

More Thailand Upheaval

It's a course in protests,
Trying to understand,
The course of events leading to latest,
Gen'ral strikes in Thailand,

Since ending monarchy in thirty-two,
Thailand's had the gamut,
Mil'tary rule to moc-democracy,
Leading to today's confused government,

Led by the sis of ex-leader Thaksin,
Who mil'tary did end,
Now saving her 'gainst calls o'er TV by,
Ex-deputy PM

Khun Thaugsuban.
Now riots in the street,
Are fought with tear gas and water cannons,
'Til either c'rruption's or c'rruption's defeat.
