let's monkey around

monkeys
get a lot of attention at the zoo.
who doesn't
love a monkey.
that noise they make,
those big brown
eyes,
swinging on the vines like
a bunch of,
well, monkeys.
we talk about monkeying around.
hot monkey love,
or say things like
well i'll be
a monkey's uncle.
there's the monkey
wrench.
chocolate monkey ice
cream.
we look at the time line
of the evolutionary 
THEORY,
and we see the monkey
somewhere in the mix,
slowly learning to stand up
and put a coat and tie
on to go to work.
hopping on the subway.
it's close to what
we are now. and yes,
there is the last train to
clarksville.
who doesn't like a monkey,
raise a paw,
i'm mean hand.
