This has a good nursery rhyme feel to it. And it also has a moral (ie nature might get along better if we humans didn't make such a blot on the landscape). But it is more than a nursery rhyme. The choice of words and ideas are diverting and interesting and reward some savouring. Like Carl, I thought "monkey" was a little generic.The sloth and marmoset are unusual and draw attention. There are any number of 2-syllable tree-dwellers you could substitute for monkey, how about "mongoose"
