A Barrel of Monkeys

While they ate their banana I

just happened to be eating one too,

it seems we share the same taste

for some food.

But thank heavens, I feel no urge

to swing from the trees, although it

looks like fun, I’d rather not have

two broken knees.

Monkey see, monkey do, makes one

wonder who’s watching who and

best of all their smiles are

contagious, what a sweet disease

to spread upon faces just thinking

about theirs made me smile right

away a going away gift from the

monkeys at the zoo.
