Fingers

I wish I was a monkey a-livin' in a tree Where if I bit your fingers off Nobody could blame me. You shouldn't poke at monkeys Unless you're a dummkopf Who gets precisely what's deserved, Your fingers bitten off.

Biting off fingers is VERY cute, yah you betcha. I've had terrible dreams I actually did it to attackers. Very real seeming dreams, when I wake up thinking it really happened and feeling some satisfaction for successfully defending myself.

I had to write down dummkopf, because I LOVED this word. Fact or fiction it matters not, I want to use it. Is this okay? Love the whole poem!

Of course it's okay! It would be weird if I claimed you can't use a word just cuz I used it! Thank you for your kind feedback(s).
