The origin of no see, no hear,
no speak
The tailless monkeys
all soaked in the springs
No place to go; they
had no wings
The water was hot; the
snow was so cold
The elders would sit
and stories were told
The youngsters would
listen but try as they may
They’d much rather play
then learn what to say.
They covered their eyes
and covered their ears
They covered their
mouths and cared not to speak
But this ended up with
them tired and weak.
A legend began, a
lesson was taught
Old monkeys are wiser;
best to listen than not.
This
picture was the inspiration for my poem
