Boning Alone

Boning Alone 
Boning alone 
I can see the organ grinding, 
and I can hear the music; 
I can see the pretty flowers, 
and I can lust as well as you. 
I can even want one too, but then 
I sometimes see the other ugly monkey,too. 
A monkey can see, 
A monkey can hear and even speak; 
When he is hurt,he can even feel, 
though he suffers all alone. 
That is why I bone alone.
