monkey clipper,

You are ever so close, but I feel I should point out that
monkey puzzle
is actually the first of the weekday word games in the newspaper that people while away time with using a pen or pencil or (if they’re really good at them) with Magic Markers.
Can’t be. The Marine Corps song refers to the halls of monkey puzzle
