Premium Member monkey business

once a wise monkey named stan

dreamt of becoming a man

so to fool all the rest

taped a note to his chest

my wife use to date tarzan.

I see your lips moving.
Can't hear what a word you're saying.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.

There was a fine monkey from Peru
Who hated the zoo’s vegetable stew.
So to get a banana 
He’d turn **** to camera
and they'd throw him a banana or two!

all agitated

          discussing monkey business

                   going bananas

Monkey Business

It's a blockade I hate.
It always gets in the way
of progress I want to make.
Absent, I feel trapped.
Can't escape, can't fade away.
Unable to evade, I am afraid.
I fight the battle every day.
.......What more can I say?

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.”

Yardbirds

Who remembers the Yardbirds
and their moniker Monkey business
Relf , McCarthy, Dreja and Samwell Smith
Blues boys with Beck/Page on duo guitar

latterly Happenings 10 years time ago
seeking people through the world of time
through to Renaissance
and all the falling angels

Monkey business

A long tailed monkey
black as polished ebony
shrieked in frantic scrabbling
at the grey mouth
of a silver pouch
and danced on braided rope
with the paunchy pig
to hypno strains
on the gilded harp 
plucked by geisha girls
hair bouffant and clasped
in shells and iridescent combs.

Monkey business is pure fun filled play
Tricking and chatting throughout the day
Climbing banana trees their own way
If you invade them try to be merry and gay

If you do not, they will chase you away.
If you are silly and cute they may let you stay.
They let interlopers visit every other Tuesday.
Want to go with me? What do you say?

COPLA 97 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

God of money makes monkeys of man
Great leaders line up for Mammon mass :
Count notes sleepless

Sound of money clinking in the bank
Is enough to make leaders kiss *ss :
Monkey business

Leaders decide when to declare war
Silence disgruntled men in their youth :
Weapons bring loot

Warring peoples always want something more
Like a thousand acres of greed to soothe :
Vanquished stay mute
