Watch that monkey go in his cage
In his cage
In his cage
Watch that monkey play the game
Play the game
Play the game
Watch that monkey do what's expected of him
Expected of him
Expected of him
Laugh as monkey jumps from trend to trend
Trend to trend
Trend to trend
If that damn monkey don't do
What he's supposed to do
That damn monkey
Will get the boot
(crazy guitar solo)
Now watch that monkey as he cheats and lies
Cheats and lies
Cheats and lies
And hear that monkey, he'll say it's okay
"I'm just keepin' up with everyone
And playin' that everyday game"
Now monkey thinks this rose is not a regular flower
Because monkey thinks this rose has got ultimate power
And monkey thinks it smells so fresh and great
And monkey will fight anything to get at this bait
If that damn monkey don't do
What he's supposed to do
That damn monkey
Will get the boot
(crazy guitar solo)

I wrote this festive little ditty up while casually looking around at the freak show (human race) we're in and our suffering world (unfortunate victim), my fellow monkeys. You're apart of it. No matter how hard you may deny it at times. Might as well laugh while you cry. Might as well let these times go by as you shrug nonchalantly and keep your head up in the sky. Woo hooo.
It's easier that way, isn't it?
Hahahahaha.... Okay, I'm done. Back in the cage, we go.
That chimp used to be my secretary before he broke into show business.
ReplyDeleteThe human race has come a long way. 20,000 years ago they were a minor species of cannibal apes who were lucky if they lived to age 30.
Fabulous post! Straight from the heart and very funny and serious at the same time. More please.

I fucking love it!! lol
ReplyDeleteYou seriously rock to no end, my friend.
Monkey see-monkey do indeed. It's sad & hilarious all at the same time.
Ah yes, Kelly! Poetry, and lyric writing are definitely your genre! Your guitar solos burned up my PC they were so heartfelt. And your touch for mixing humor into bitter pills really shined here.
ReplyDeleteThe good news about monkeys is that they get to swing on branches, and don't have the pressure of having opposable thumbs. Now, shall I'll meet you at the banana tree for a game of Bananagrams after dinner? Word games sound fun!
Gorilla Bananas- Is that so? I'm gonna ask him about that.
ReplyDeletebazza- Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteLilPixi- Thanks, LilPixi. I was suddenly in an "inspired" mood when I just sittin' there, in front of the monitor, poking my brain for ideas. Then, I farted. And the rest is history.
ReplyDeleteYou see as I see- the absurdity of a monkey see-monkey do society. Quick! Get out of the cage!
THE SNEE- Thank you for the kind compliments. My condolences for your burned up PC. My solos can light a passionate fire within machine or human, from what they tell me. And by "they", I mean my harem of female midgets wearing clown paint.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment about me being able to mix humor into bitter pills. Those feelings come easily to me since I've bore witness to so much of it from humanity. The challenge, at times, is to put the feelings into words.
Yes! Yes, Rebecca! I will meet you for a game of 'Bananagrams' after I finish my bag of corn nuts. Later, we can sit up in the tree with the other bloggers here and have laughs o' plenty at the expense of the monkeys as they perform tragicomic hijinks. Until we meet, take good care!
I love that. It's like we are a cross between monkeys and robots. Mechanical monkeys with somewhat of an ability to be empathetic. Society programmed robots who think and do everything that society expects from them.
ReplyDeleteRico Swaff- I agree with you on that point. Our actions are sometimes as dull, repetitive and mechanical as a robot while being wild, violent and unpredictable as monkeys the other half of the time. I agree with your last point, too, whole-fuckin'-heartedly.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I gave you an award in my next post. Check it out!
