Year of the Monkey - LP Zoo

Pied tamarins, we're from Brazil,
Hanging out at Lincoln Park Zoo.
We're the kind of monkey who will
Swing with whatever keepers do.
Tiz now the year twenty sixteen,
And Chinese year of the monkey.
Who really knows what that does mean?
But celebrating we do be
On February 8th - the start,
With decorations for the eye,
In colorful and festive art.
It humors humans - who cares why!

Such celebrations are so sweet -
Always something special to eat.
