Monkey

Monkey
Stay off my back 
All I want is my stuff  back
My memories 
my family
my wife
my life 
My time all over again.
I’m not asking for much
I’ll meet you half way
No. My way or the high way
Keep out of my way.
Don’t bother me again 
Keep the black dogs company
Monkey.
I’ll think of you often Monkey
Each time I see a sunset 
Or sunrise
A clear Sunday morning
Or anything on Saturday night.
Thanks for the bad times
And the sad times
Thanks for nothing
Monkey.
