With an intent of Stripping off all--Wives & footholds-- And taking over, A monkey measures And measures Father's foot mark Walking behind father's back And inflict on the same attack Cognizant ,subject to The wear and tear of time , feeble, A defensive hand Father could lack! A mentor,  I helped An apprentice Acquire a sharp mind And a nimble hand Till on his feet stand. When he realized He has ensured balance Began the apprentice Forward advance, Quite strange to the behaviour Of other apprentices. Ungrateful he started to hurl Acerbic remark About  my skills Casting a covetous glance For boss's chair a chance.

Monkey's mentality
With an intent of Stripping off all--Wives & footholds-- And taking over, A monkey measures And measures Father's foot mark Walking behind father's back And inflict on the same attack Cognizant ,subject to The wear and tear of time , feeble, A defensive hand Father could lack! A mentor,  I helped An apprentice Acquire a sharp mind And a nimble hand Till on his feet stand. When he realized He has ensured balance Began the apprentice Forward advance, Quite strange to the behaviour Of other apprentices. Ungrateful he started to hurl Acerbic remark About  my skills Casting a covetous glance For boss's chair a chance.
Among my subordinates and students some have this mentality.
