Funny Monkey
This is an abstract poem thingamabob that I wrote eons ago and just recently found. I thought it would be nice to share. It's not your typical type of poem so...yea. Enjoy? *hides behind rock to dodge incoming tomatoes*
It's called Funny Monkey
_________________________
Monkey
You make me laugh out loud
Ha Ha
While Im at work stocking foods and things
Splat!
I dropped something
Manger comes and yell at me
Spit flies here and there
Everywhere
Youre fired!
Words ring thru my ears
No job?
What am I to do?
Live in a alley or a highway
Gas guzzlers go by
ZOOOM!
Hit whatever can't be seen in front view
Watch out!
Driving license came out of a cereal box
Up I go
In the air
Carboard box house and all
Oh Monkey,
What have you done?
Manager wants me to leave
Please don't
Frown appears on his forehead
I need this job
This job will do fine
Scrub Scrub
Wash Wash
Whatever
Fire me not!
Monkey save me from this
Suddenly
Monkey sprang into action
OW
I really mean OW
Thats got to hurt
There goes an ear
An eye
A nose
Somebody is going to the hospital
Get down Monkey!
Im already fired
Remember the good times?
When we were having fun
Talking about oh ah
And bananas
Not understanding one bit
But loving it truly
Makin faces at babies
As they go by
Switching price tags
Messing with old folks
Just living the high life
Oh well,
No work
No problems
Walk through the sliding doors
Forget this
I'll get a new job
Stoking foods and things
Start over fresh
Skip town
Just you and me
Monkey
Laughing all the way

I get the sensation that the monkey is symbolic, rather like a part of his childhood zest for life. A bit of a struggle within himself to be responsible, but enjoy life. Like how many of us simply don't want to grow up! hee hee, Great ideas come to mind and memories of days of old. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem

wow I never really thought about it like that. Thank you. I've always thought of it as a Curious George type of thing, but even now that I think about, Curious George himself is already the embodiment of the childlike wonder wow deep lol

You're very welcome Miko.
I guess that is one of the beautiful things about sharing your creative thoughts. What may seem insignificant to one may very well touch, or strike a string within another. And reading is absolutely wonderful. Allowing your own mind to create pictures, or recall emotions to embrace another persons thoughts. No one really knows how our own pattern of words will effect another person, without sharing them.
