#MonkeyPolls

[lordsireno]

I've got 5 days off for Easter!

Monkeyland

Oh for far-off monkeyland,

ripe monkeybread on baobabs,

and the wind strums out monkeytunes

from monkeywindow monkeybars.

Monkeyheroes rise and fight

in monkeyfield and monkeysquare,

And monkeysanatoriums

have monkeypatients crying there.

Monkeygirl monkeytaught

masters monkeyalphabet,

evil monkey pounds his thrawn

feet in monkeyprison yet.

Monkeymill is nearly made,

miles of monkeymayonnaise,

winningly unwinnable

winning monkeymind wins praise.

Monkeyking on monkeypole

harangues the crowd in monkeytongue,

monkeyheaven comes to some,

monkeyhell for those undone.

Macaque, gorilla, chimpanzee,

baboon, orangutan, each beast

reads his monkeynewssheet at

the end of each twilight repast.

With monkeysupper memories

the monkeyouthouse rumbles, hums,

monkeyswaddies start to march,

right turn, left turn, shoulder arms-

monkeymilitary fright

reflected in each monkeyface,

with monkeygun in monkeyfist

the monkeys' world the world we face.
