If I sat and typed forever Just hoping it was good Would I best the chimpanzees On my antique Underwood If I sucked each molecule And breathed in all the vapors I could get some good ideas From all the Liquid Paper? It would just be incidental Because I’m banging every key With my head, hand, and toes And whatever’s close to me The ribbon is running out And the ink is lookin’ funky Soon they’ll come replace me With a robotic typin’ monkey Someday they’ll find this poem In a pile of lesser reads They’ll declare I was a genius For its proof, I was indeed fd;jg;fdajhg;lkjhfgTHE ENDodfahg’ladskfhg[ifg [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (01-09-2002 10:09 AM).] |

wayoutwalt, the last line was deep and meaningful... but I don't think you can say it in public. funny write, at least they weren't brass monkeys. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Well you reminded me of something I thought was interesting on tv a little earlier...a man had trained a chimpanze in martial arts...in this case a monkey will be wearing a belt...James |

Walt, there is no "robotic typin' monkey" that could replace you ... not by a long shot. Your creativity is endless. Thank you for the depth and thought that is behind these delightful lines. Best wishes, /Kit |
