You Can Thank the Funky Monkey

No way you could call this a drizzle 

Came out like rhinoceros pizzle

On this day at the zoo

This old monkey just blew

It fried my eyes and made them sizzle 


Blinded, direction was hard to gauge

And I fell into the lion's cage

I was sure she'd eat me

But she purred so sweetly

Now I live with a cat half my age


Had no trouble adjusting at all

Bet you wouldn't catch this at the mall

So just you wait and see 

A proud papa I'll be

Because she's expecting in the Fall
