Notes About The Poem

I attempted to turn a very old, very bad joke into a limerick....

Monkey Business

Monkey Business

The monkey’s brother said: “Mom’s gonna have a fit”
The giraffe replied “I’ve got the ring he must commit.”
They looked at her and said “WOW”
They looked at him and said “HOW”
He answered: “My brother put me up to it.”

Seriously funny is an oxymoron, but it fits this limerick, John.
