The Old Neighborhood

[arisbe]

Two marmosets, two capuchins, two squirrel monkeys and the spider were confiscated from the home of Orlando Lopez on Tuesday, leaving him brokenhearted.

The Capuchins were assigned to a new parish in the Bronx.

Perhaps you will recall these lines of Belloc:

The species Man and Marmoset are intimately linked.
The Marmoset survives as yet,
But Men are all extinct.

I suppose the capuchins are naturally discalced
which gives them a head start ...
for better and worse I guess we are judged by
progress from start point not from another creature's
though.
with a prayer for your situation at bny
do keep us advised

It took me a second to remember that there was another definition of capuchin :)

I started reading this and was expecting it to say "two marmosets, two capuchins, two squirrel monkeys and a spider walked into a bar..."

Now that's even better. Let's work on it...
