An infinity of monkeys
got inside my head
they tried to tell me
that Shakespeare was dead
they didn't see why they should type
a load of old Elizabethan tripe
what they really wanted
was a modern novel or two
so they're typing Ulysses
and then when they're through
they'll type Douglas Coupland
and type Irvine Welsh
then they'll type Naked Lunch
by William Burroughs himself
and then when that's typed
they'll type Enid Blyton
as a last celebration
of great modern writing.
