Default 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.
