	unless you're a dummkopf
Who gets precisely what's deserved --

"The Barrel of Little Monkeys" 


Gorilla warfare took a new turn,
when the children like chimps,
followed the voice of their Overlords;

they adored them once, 
but then,
some things 

can NEVER be forgiven. 

The number like www 
drew their parents in first,
and then, what’s worse,

it drew them in,...

Sitting here wondering if monkeys really mind
I eat a banana a day, perhaps a petition they've signed
To restrict my consumption
Enforce a reduction
Maybe we can convince them on an all dressed pizza to dine

Must our eyes even when we blind see
I closed my eyes but   Zipporah D ‘Ead was aborting the Evil
Zipporah says Kevin Daddy closed her eyes not to see
And that mother sees but to her it’s no Evil
Remember my daughter all we have is...

There were three little monkeys,
Named Mindy, Murray and Moe,
And everywhere they went,
They put on a little show.

Mindy was a dancer,
And she was very good.
She danced like a ballerina,
Then tap-danced where she stood.

Murray was a tumbler,
He jumped and flipped about.
The children really liked it,
And were quick...

Two monkeys laughed their heads off in a tree.
It was because of the sight they did see.
There was a hole in the ground.
Three moles scratched and jumped around.
They were bitten by a lunatic flea.

Three Monkeys On a Boat

three monkeys on a boat
One had money, the others broke
The Second monkey rowed
As the third one stole
The first one said that was bold
The second one sworn
He call the cops, as soon as they get a shore
The third one fled
Jumped over board

Monkeys stare through cages at the zoo
Picking teeth, scratching each other too
     But who are we to cast aspersions 
     We each have our primate reversions    
Reflecting us, monkeys see – monkeys do

Acrophobics on a tight rope, one inch off the ground.
anticipated serendipity, the deaf can feel sound. 
acutely apathetic, because anarchy rules!
abundant spiritual poverty, monkeys can use tools.
balanced insanity, becoming partially undone. 
just when they think it's over, it has only just begun! 
with apathetic interest...

They said we are monkeys of the first order
that they found us grimpering from branch to branch-

they said they found us in our wildest state-
unredeemed and unrefined like crude oil.

They said we were but a primitive breed
No more important as the dirt beneath their feet.

Yet...
