# A Limerick about a monkey orchestra:
Attempts at monkey orchestration
are destined to lead to frustration
as they howl and they spit
in the orchestra pit
and attempt acts of defenestration.

# I'd have used
"practice defecation" which scans fine

# Not enough syllables
also monkey in the first line should be pronounced monk-key

# actually you're right
and "practice defecation" doesn't scan in the least. i blame the music i've got playing for throwing me off.
