A Wonky Monkey

There once was a poet who screeched like a monkey Belligerent cuss and stubborn as a donkey Was quite disputatious Boringly vexatious In fact, I'd be inclined to label him a bit wonky Others have mentioned he's much too bodacious Unyielding when he's wrong, gruffly tenacious Liked to spit and spatter Madder than the Hatter Victimized fine poets and fiercely predacious One should wonder if his mental wiring was loose Because his ranting insults were bitterly profuse Drivel and poppycock Game hen liked to squawk Lacking discernment and most definitely obtuse

Yikes! Note to self… ‘Don’t get in Jenna’s bad books’. Love your (not) thinly veiled put downs, Jenna. I’ve missed a fair bit of the fracas but you sure filled in some blanks. Terry

Ha ha, Terry. I never start the fracas, but somehow, I always manage to get involved, especially if it's in support of a friend. Glad to oblige if you ever need more filling in.

Indeed! Good practice with that Winchester on a few Cornish game hens

Well looks like the wonky monkey stirred a hornet’s nest down Soup Creek way, never a good idea, your Limericks are stinging as ever and I reckon he will get the point, NO SINGLE PERSON IS AN ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY ON THIS SITE, cheers David

No worries Jenna and Milton, all we can do is write our poems, have a banter, ask a few questions, and deal with whatever comes our way, come what may!

Amen! David. But, you know, I have found that people like that seldom really get the point. They'll back off for the moment, but they inevitably come back like a bad rash! I will never understand people like that. They must be soooo miserable inside.

That wonky monkey deserved to have a bunch of those hornets bite his butt. I just found out another monkey tried to smack Mark Koplin in Milt's blog by going in when he thought all of Mark's friends had stopped reading the blog. Au contraire, Monkey #2. It's always those who are least active on site who want to garner the most attention with their Budinski attitude. Thanks for reading and leaving your comments, David.

Jenna, you have penned another set of limericks I wish I'd written, but, alas, I haven't that natural talent for rhyme and rhythm you have. Seriously. I am so grateful many who live in Soup Creek are not willing to sacrifice the town's reputation for a few rogues, and who are willing to stand up for what's right and good. Thanks!

Thanks for your compliment, Milt. You have wonderful talent. Limericks come easily to me when I'm feeling the need to be snarky. Keeping the peace in Soup Creek would be easier if those 'rogues' you speak of would not be dead set on causing trouble for people who merely make suggestions. Perhaps their narcissistic arrogance drives them to it. It's so unnecessary.

We need to employ a monkey catcher for the site. Get him back in his cage. Lol. Tom

Good suggestion for another resident to take on the responsibility of keeping monkeys and other bully types out of Soup Creek. Let's see if anyone who reads this would like to volunteer or nominate a good candidate for the job... other than those of us who already keep a look out for those scoundrels. Thanks for leaving your thoughts, Tom.
