Flying Monkey Seeks Wiz

She yelled, bring the girl and the little dog too! My blood ran cold, wondering what she would do. I was brought to her castle many years ago. Ensuring my own kin I would never know. We all grumbled about it, but we took off anyway. To cross this old bat would not pay off any day. My friend Chet looked at me and simply rolled his eyes. Then we were up in the air, flying high in the skies. And the little dog too, Chet said, with his mouth. I laughed at his joke, as we flew to the south. I telepathed to Toto – run dog, run far away, But the dog knew Dorothy would get him the very next day. So I snatched up that adorable black puppy, after walking back and forth. Chet threw down a bunch of straw from the scarecrow, and we headed back up north. I brought in my live prize, all wiggly and happy, not a bit blue. That old witch did not even say thanks, having no manners through and through. So the next day when she got melted I was the first flying monkey to cheer. Chet laughed, and Sam snorted, and we took off to find our relatives, dear. Written 11-02-2018 Contest: Off To See The Wizard Sponsor: Charles Messina

I thought "what is the one animal others might not think to write a poem about" and Trixie, my muse threw a flying monkey at me.
