MONKEY SEE! MONKEY DO!
puppet monkey mimics me
sporting my new purple hat
which looks blue in the photo

"Ok...ok!" I snap
"Give...it...back!"
I enunciate each syllable

but the monkey only laughs
leaping to the highest branches
of my over fertile

imagination.

"Don't blame me!" it slyly smirks
"I ain't the one making this
load of balloney up now
