Jessica Amanda Salmonson Poet Rhyme

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.

Mystic Rose Rose December 24, 2018 at 6:44 AM Ah, I so love this. I wish I was a monkey too at times, your get a 10 for cuteness dear Jessica, Merry Christmas to you and yours. xo Jessica Amanda Salmonson December 24, 2018 at 1:30 PM 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.

Caren Krutsinger December 20, 2018 at 7:07 AM 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! Jessica Amanda Salmonson December 24, 2018 at 1:27 PM 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).
