In 2007, a man smuggled a monkey under his hat from Lima, Peru. He arrived in Fort Lauderdale, FL and had a two hour connection. He then was able to board his flight to New York Laguardia still hiding a monkey under his hat. It wasn't until halfway through the flight passengers noticed it.
I heard a strange story that was kind of funky
It was about a man who smuggled a furry little monkey
This monkey was smuggled by a Peruvian male
Passengers found it perched up on his ponytail
That furry little guy was harmless and cute
All he wanted to eat was insects and fruit
He didn't make a sound, he didn't make a cackle
And thank goodness it was a monkey and not a jackal
Spirit Airlines is the epitome of "nickel and dime"
But they missed getting an extra charge this time
On Spirit you don't get peanuts or even a biscotti
But this monkey was well behaved and was not naughty
That monkey was hidden well underneath his hat
You really can't do that with a stubborn maine coon cat
This is how this primate rose to his short lived fame
"Spirit" became the monkey's new nickname
I'm not sure what happened to him but I do have a clue
Rumor has it he ended up being dropped off at a New York zoo
Not a monkey!!! 😂
