Too Many Monkeys
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Too many monkeys.
Following the lead of one Baboon.
All conducting a production,
Of horse manure addicted to consume.
And drugging up the atmosphere,
Leaving patrons of a circus...
Left happy and heard,
Under a tent of mindless constituents.
Applauding more for the smell.
Convinced that their leader,
Seen prepared to burn down them all.
Makes perfect sense,
To witness this done...
As upholding the integrity,
Of the performance.
All were awaiting to observe delivered!
