The Monkeys

The foot of Khao Takiab, the hill of the monkeys at the end of the beach, a corn stall and the family with a pram: the sign says no feeding the monkeys; careful, they snatch bags; I've told Mum to hold the bag tight; don't look them in the eye; don't run, walk slowly; one's on the car; careful, a baby monkey, the mother's near; Mum says in Seattle it's beware of bears: three ways to warn, on a sign and in speech.
