The Warning Gibbon

As the moon passes the Full and starts once again to shrink towards new, we reach the condition of the Waning Gibbons Moon.
Now we had enough trouble over the Moon Gibbon in the first place, not to mention the unpleasant activity of Waxing Gibbons that someone inflicted on the Community.
But now we are in the phase known as the Warning Gibbon.  As the Moon Gibbon starts once again to eat the moon, so the ancient writings of the now-defunct Moon Gibbon people* tell us, the Warning Gibbon tells his smaller friends. Then the smaller Gibbons cluster onto the diminishing side of the Moon.  At New, they are consigned into space.  Some hover around until the Moon returns - while others, with no visible means of support, fall to earth where they become shooting stars or, if they survive their entry into the atmosphere, contestants on "Eggheads".
Yet more people have claimed that the Warning Gibbon is itself a mis-hearing - referring to the "Whining Gibbon", who has a Brummie accent and sits on the Moon complaining that there's nothing to do in Edgbaston.  Or the "Weaning Gibbon" - the Moon Gibbon's mother, who refuses to have anything else to do with him.  Or the Raining Gibbon - the vindictive primate godling who causes foul weather to fall on anyone holding a picnic.
No matter who you listen to, one thing's for sure. There's a lot more gibbons around than you imagine.
