The monkey was vaguely dissatisfied
so he went out
and bought
so now he feels better about himself
and worse about the planet
he's vaguely dissatisfied
but money isn't enough
for the planet
although enough to buy him
momentary relief
from the planet
Baboons in the cliffs
hanging overhead
thought it would be amusing
to fall down dead
landing on an SUV
they caved in the roof
large gas guzzlers kill wildlife
(isn't that the truth)
more usually through climate change
than baboon suicide
but if the monkeys on the roof were done for
you should have seen the apes inside.
The baboons are sitting in the bank
The lemurs are in the branches
The chimpanzee is in the bank
he's waiting for the manager
fiddling with the pen on a chain
but not that hopeful
last time it didn't work out
he didn't have the right look
a double breasted suit
looks better on someone taller and fatter
so this time its tailored
just like the plan he's applying for
A hedge
his own garden
barbecues in the backyard
toasted monkey
sipping tea on the verandah
deciding on the colour scheme
and where to put the piano.
The gorilla
thought it would be funny
to eat his own poo
just to see
what the scientist
would do.
