Theme: Futility

Futility of Aping

A group of deer was grazing

On the land covered with grass adjoining

A mango grove, suddenly they were running

And they started jumping,

A group of young monkeys were sitting

On mango trees watching

The way the deer were enjoying.

The monkeys felt they should attempt running

Along with them then they felt it was not that easy following,

Then they decided to keep jumping

From one branch to other branches of the mango trees

This way they felt they were jumping

Like deer, but this resulted in

Fruits and leaves falling

From the tree on the ground, blocking

The way the deer were running.

The deer then decided changing

Their route of running and jumping

To a place where there were no trees.

Then the monkeys were regretting

Their way of behaving, they felt

That they should keep doing

What they were good at and stop

Creating problems for others by aping.
