    Bohol Tarsiers
    An island in blue Pacific
    Where green vegetation terrific
    Cool, warm climatic
    Indigenous natives abound
    Inhospitable crowd around
    Endangered species account
    Tourists, visitors round about
    Various attractions in doubt
    Tiny primates gadabout
    Cling up and down
    On branches brown
    Owlish eyes crowns
    Teeny ears, hairy tops
    Give ‘em lollipops
    Wavelike feet flops
    Nocturnal alive are they
    Daybreak goin’ tardy
    While hibernate in day
    Tarsier are we
    Proud, brave and snub away
    When exposed whole day.
    Leave tarsier alone
    Free as a balloon
    In due time homo-sapiens condone

    Nhorlandi

    Note: Tarsier the smallest primate in the world found only
    in Central Philippines and some parts in Indonesia.
