There came a monkey on the roof
he had this raised in his mind
long stayed in the jungle aloof
was time he met his superior kind.
He tried to charm showing tricks
made all kinds of faces to entertain
they ran after him with sticks
causing him considerable pain.
To make friends only he had come
thinking they would mix freely
offer him a pleasant welcome
and not act as if he was an enemy.
In the ruckus he forgot the road
fleeing from the stones that were thrown
thereby for good losing abode
got no home to claim as his own.
