Ebenezer, my fine, fellow primate, was a spunky little guy. 

Growing up in my hut, swinging curtain to chair, always on the fly. 

An abandoned orphan, and a twin, he was a great companion and a tease

We built him his own hut, when he discovered the computer and ate two keys!

Six years as my friend, six years to bond,

Time enough to be attached, and feel quite fond.

Alas, a sickness befell him, beyond our control

I was out of the area for a week, more than just a stroll.

Coming back was traumatic, our hearts filled with sorrows,

Still his memory and spunkiness will stay with us for many tomorrows.
