a bad idea
getting a monkey for a pet.
the constant
shrieking
and swinging from
the chandelier.
the biting and fleas.,
his wanton
lust for bananas.
i suggested
a goldfish.
but she insisted
on bobo.
i was young and in love,
wanting to please
her,
so foolishly
bending to her desires.
a lesson i learned
early on,
and yet repeatedly
did it again
and again, always with
regret.
