Notes About The Poem

- Hominoidea -

If you believe
                                        This poem is about,
                                         a black and white 
                                                  COW
                                            in the shower
                                                    ...
                                           You are wrong
                                              It's about ;
                                               MONKEYS
                                          Monkeys in cages
                                      Four times four meters
                                     both in width and height
                                               A sad life
                                           They are bored
                                 Shouting and screaming all day
                             One big mouth with powerful canines
                           Scratching their buttocks and licking toes
                             Within this monkey cage they get sick
                               They feel insecure and need control
                            Creating their own rules, it's about power
                                The result of the actions is called :
                                        Psychological deviants
                               Hominoidea, called human monkeys
                                            
                                ... I hope the cow enjoys the shower

Phil Capitano September 5, 2017 at 7:26 AM Very interesting Sunny, the title hooked me and that last line tied me up in a knot. Brilliant.

John Lawless September 1, 2017 at 7:22 AM ..could this be that box they have been telling me to think outside of.....Anne-Lise, tis my belief that any poem that makes the reader squint their eyes, chuckle, and walk away saying hmmmm has done its job. congrats on POTW... Anne-Lise Andresen September 1, 2017 at 7:33 AM - It's about "bullies" ... people and animals have many similarities ... they are bored ... and just make trouble ... have nothing else to do, John - Thank you for your congratulations - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Kevin Shaw August 31, 2017 at 6:24 AM A light hearted start to what is really a serious comment on confinement. But why should we be surprised that we imprison our nearest relatives, when we do it to our own brothers. Love the way you bring the light hearted back to finish, regards to you, Kevin xx Anne-Lise Andresen August 31, 2017 at 7:58 AM - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment, Kevin :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Keith O.J. Hunt August 28, 2017 at 1:29 PM Excellent write Anne-Lise, very witty; the ego abounds, this oddly reminds of Plato's cave. A big congrats on POTW:-) Anne-Lise Andresen August 29, 2017 at 2:35 AM - Thank you for your congratulations, Keith :) - Nice to see you :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Becca Teagan August 23, 2017 at 11:55 AM I feel really silly right now because I don't get it :( I don't mean that in a rude way, I really don't understand the joke, and it seems like others do! Can you explain it to me? Thanks Anne Lise and I hope you are doing well. Hugs Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 12:28 PM - I do not expect everyone to understand this poem ... and that does not mean so much, Becca - Nice to see you :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Arthur Vaso August 23, 2017 at 10:59 AM Hi Anne-Lise, your poetry is always so uplifting, beautiful, and you always brings me smiles, however not only are you a great poet, but you have such a beautiful heart. You keep writing and making people smile, and just ignore the negative few. Hugs!!!!!!!!!!! Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 12:35 PM - Many thanks for the lovely comment, Arthur :) - I have three dogs ... and many poop bags :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Vladislav Raven August 22, 2017 at 9:02 PM Hi Anne-Lise, another excellent write from your pen. A serious topic looked at as only you can. The screaming monkeys shall always scream for they are insecure. They can scream on deaf ears. It's me in the shower. Seriously though, a well written poem. May your pen ever run gold. Keep writing your gold and spreading your sunshine. You are a special lady. Going to add this one to my faves. Hugs....Mike. XX Lin Lane August 23, 2017 at 5:27 AM and don't let a horse's arse keep you from writing either. ;-) Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 3:16 AM - Many thanks for your friendly visit, fave and your comment, Mike :) - No cow, monkey, or horse can stop my ink :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Arthur Vaso August 22, 2017 at 1:50 PM LOL Anne-Lise, loved this. Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 3:09 AM - Arthur, many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Dean Wood August 22, 2017 at 10:46 AM This is a serious topic Anna-Lise but somehow I can't stop giggling. I even mis-read your title as "Homie No Idea". I have a hard time with cages too. Thanks, Dean Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 3:07 AM - "Homie No Idea" really a great title ... it's just as good, Dean :))) - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Silent One August 22, 2017 at 7:33 AM Hominoidea have evolved into the monkeys we see today, its always important to evolve both in our minds and our hearts.. anyway, that was a bit of a tangent.. You are right, wild animals only scream when they are insecure.. Or hungry some times.. Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 3:02 AM - Give them some bananas :) - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment, S.O. :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Lin Lane August 22, 2017 at 6:46 AM If you believe my comment is pooh-poohing a cow, a monkey, or a psychological deviant you are wrong. My comment is acknowledging the ingenuity of your write, Anne-Lise. ;-) Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 2:59 AM - Although it smells pooh ... this is freshly washed, Lin :) - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Tim Smith August 22, 2017 at 6:44 AM Fortunately you have the power of the pen to inform about the monkeys. May the shower wash away their spots. Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 2:57 AM - We can learn monkeys to write (friendly), but not those who are in a cage - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Lin Lane August 22, 2017 at 7:07 AM I'm not sure they can be washed away, Tim...only camouflaged.

Russell Sivey August 22, 2017 at 6:26 AM Yes, the cow is really getting into that shower, he loves it I believe! But the main point of your write is ever present...the power we human expel can be devastating to not only other animals but to people as well! Such a dominate poem Anne-Lise, I loved the subtle humor as well, it made the piece more fun to read! Thank you for this elaborate poem, Great work my friend!! Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 2:54 AM - The cow is lovely and likes to stay clean, Russell :) - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Arturo Michael August 22, 2017 at 6:20 AM Good one...After all is said and done...The cow looks like he's enjoying the shower... I enjoyed it....Have a nice day Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 2:50 AM - Jepp, "all is said and done" :) - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment, Arturo :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Maria Williams August 22, 2017 at 5:28 AM Unfortunately a lot of small minded people get so carried away by their' so called power.' I like your analogy here a thing which is comparable to something else in significant respects.A great write as usual Anne-Lise....Maria xxx Anne-Lise Andresen August 23, 2017 at 2:45 AM - Many thanks for your friendly visit and your comment, Maria :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
