one overcast day we went to penang hill,
to sneak a peak at the view and enjoy calm and still.
after looking around we decided to walk,
to the botanical gardens of which we'd heard a lot of talk.
we began the 5 kilometres across and down,
when a downpour started - we thought we'd drown.
we waited the storm with some locals under cover,
chit chatted about the economy while monkeys began to hover.
the rain subsided, we finished our climb,
down hundreds of stairs to a scene sublime -
a troop of monkeys came out from the trees,
swarming around garbage cans like a colony of bees.
they walked right among us unafraid, on their quest,
until they found food, after which they would sit and rest.

| the monkeys! |
