Monkey Around Poems | Examples


Best Medicine

Tickle my fancy
tickle my toes
tickle my funny bone
(both elbows)

put a smile in my life
a laugh let me hear
place a grin on my face
(from ear to ear)

tell me a joke
it's chuckles I seek
give me a giggle
(tongue in cheek)

play me a prank
let silliness spark
say something funny
(just for a lark)

ape me a caper
do it in jest
monkey around
(buffoonery's best)

when crying with laughter
can't take any more
I'll do it for you
(rolling on the floor)

Silverback

Silverback led his gorilla by the wrist
out into the fog and missed,
lost his heart and then his way,
sadly, he was heard to say,
"Don't get me wrong,
I'm no King Kong,
it's plain to see,
so, don't make a monkey out of me."

Silverback took his gorilla by the hand,
looking for the promised land,
a jungle bungle at very best,
made him roar and beat his chest,
"What can I say,
she's no 'Fay Wray,'
here on the ground
I'm an ape, I don't monkey around."

   Monkey around, you’re called a clown
     Live with primates, you’re an anthropologist

   If you’re goofy and serious at the same time ~
     you’ve gone ‘bananas,’ Mr. Psychologist

The Animal In Me

I would say I work like a dog
But for what it would make my ma
And my reactions may be cat like
But I've never licked my Pa!

I might like to monkey around
But bananas are not my jam
It's true I am wise as an owl
Proved literal by an exam!

I have been called an animal
But she showed a smile at the time
Given a nickel each instance
In truth it would be just a dime!

Monkeys, apes, gorillas---all so close to human
They can sleep in any bed a hotel has extra room in   
Wearing glasses, reading matter in hand 
  ~ Primate scholars, intellectual Tarzans

Monkeys are subjected to personification
When from the jungle they are on vacation
We talk of 'monkey business' and 'monkey shines'
  ~ While a 'barrel of mankeys' is a fine, funny line

Monkey see, Monkey do
If you're a monkey, happy birthday to you! 
Feel the need to monkey around?
  ~ Your spouse'll make a monkey (out) of you

To throw a monkey wrench into this poem
  ~ Just go ape over it.  That'll show 'em

I Have No Feelings I Thought I Did

(truth)

I have no feelings, I've wasted more than enough.
I have no love, for I've wasted more than enough of that too.
I do not feel for anything/anyone that means nothing to me.
I do not miss no hugs,no kiss, no sweet words for those were 
Things that was never done occasionally.
I do not miss no touch, no passion making, for I would still make you cry for I still wouldn't feel you for you are not the one.
You totally mistaken me for who ever you was hoping for. You are not my Romeo, nor Fabio, and I am not your one night stand.
Being a mother to my precious little boy is all I care to be.
For no one is more important in my life but him and me.
I rather give all my attention to him than to a useless relationship.
For love and intimate partnership means nothing to me it just feels like having a monkey around all the time when you just want a alone time.
Oh but wait I never loved anyone but lust them as you did me.
Your words meant nothing to me for I was never your fool for love. Jokes on you.

Our Zoo

We must live in a zoo
The way that you do
Cry Crocodile tears
Always on cue

As you Monkey around
With every guy in town
Slick as a Snake
With the decisions you make

Craning my neck 
Like the tallest Giraffe
As my  Elephant mind
Never forgets

And when I bring it up
Say that I've had enough
You scream in my face
Like a wild Whooping Crane 

Are you serious 
Says this Laughing Hyena
I can't take it no more
Like a Lion I roar

It's hard to keep up
With you Miss Cheetah
Thick skin I have grown
Like a Rhino 

I'm tired of your lies
This Owl's become wise
Now that I think of it 
This all seems to fit

So I'll see you later 
Alligator
It's too hard to cage you
I'm outta this Zoo

The Ark

The King was a lion as most of them will
His lioness queen beside him knew the drill

The baboons just wanted to monkey around
But like the rest there were two to be found

Two lines of two too far back to see
Male and female there with no absentee 

The dogs looked around and saw the two fleas
Then rolled their eyes at Noah, not at all pleased

Soon they were all loaded for the ride ahead
All accounted for as the rain was wide spread

When the rain stopped they all mated but one pair
The gobblenips were both male so unfair 

When Noah lifted one up he didn't see his pride
There was shrinkage since it was cold outside!

Going Ape

Monkey sits atop the big box.
Monkey plays with a little fox.

Monkey, monkey can't catch me.
Catch the policeman behind tree.

Apes - Find your capes and fly.
Higher and higher into the sky.

Up a branch, a smaller ape hides.
Scared, so alone - time he abides.

Gorillas in higher mountain mists.
Have trophy heads, and the wrists.

Eating bugs, from small branch.
Yummy, delicious, ape sandwich.

Drunken fools go ape at parties.
Some are dumb, some smarties.

So all in all - to monkey around
Means an inner laughter's found.
