Wild Thang Monkey In Exile

**********

You see
I am a monkey
Of distention, but
A monkey just the same
While hanging out
At the MONKEY YMCA
I am having profound thought's
                ---
Not to be truly centered
As a Monkey though
My life is pretty much
Obviously obtunded 
Concerning these matter's
               ---
The World is a jungle
And I don't know who is
Coming to dinner
           -Or-
If actually, I am dinner
Some time's
Some dumb alligator
Or snake or two 
May come by
For a snack,
So, I must really stay active
               ----
If I don't stay active
Then my future
Is pretty much assured
             ----
If you put your mind
Into the head of a monkkey
Then, what can a Monkkey do
Meaning me......
