There once was a boy like a monkey

His name was pronounced kinda funky.

The people called him Tan

And they claimed to be fans,

But they burned him and called him unlucky.


The author's comments:

This piece is meant to highlight the tragedy of deforestation. Thousands of acres of rainforests are being burned for palm oil planatations, and orangutans and other species are losing their lives and homes. Humans are the cause of this, and we need to fix it before it's too late.
