What monkeys do Deep within a verdant green, I chanced upon a primal scene, A monkey with a busy head, Making faces as he fed. Teething seeds of gourmet choice, With munching sounds in muffled voice. When suddenly he faced my face, And stared at me in stern embrace. He moved a move of ballet charm, Released his leg and empty arm, Held his tail around the tree. And then the bastard pissed on me. He lacked a little savoir faire Maybe he didn't give a care. I was annoyed to say the least. And swore out loud you little beast But monkeys do what monkeys do And I am through with the monkey zoo. |

 !Amidst all the traditional, sentimental heart-throbbers posted tonight--what a totally unique and witty piece! I bet tons of middle/high school students wish that editors would throw a few more fun poems like this in their english textbooks! |

I say the name and went on in I read and wondered what was wrong with him His style of writting pose changed a bit Something finally did click Sy has a funny site I see Well I like the poem and its fantasy As always I was hanging on the screen For this one is a good scream lol Good thing is i wrote about Eagles and not Monkey business. lol Well I guess it's doesn't matter where it comes from, Or? The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

hehehehehe.....SURPRISE.....for you and us!!! Hillarious, Sy!  Personally, I know some people with less class than this little monkey!!!Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Sy - I've seen those monkeys in the wild down there in Lauderdale - in that wooded area right beside the Breakers....hehe... and Anne - You're absolutely right...LOL - One of the reasons I started writing poetry was because I didn't like the quality of the poems they're putting in our Literature books...  |

Little pieces such as this leave me with a delightful bliss and my grin goes on all day this, nothing more, can I say. Still grinning... Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
