Monkey In The Middle

Posted on 20th Aug 2020 by rohit kumar

There once was a monkey in a city's zoo,

who dreamed of the outside sun.

He did like hitting kids with poo,

but he felt that that's been done.

 

So he climbed out in the middle of the night,

and explored through the cities streets.

He stopped when it was turning light

And felt he wanted to eat.

 

That poor monkey needed cash

to afford his exotic meals.

But his stomach led him to the trash,

where he ate a cube of butter and apple peels.

 

He only found one job,

that paid food and shelter instead of wages.

All he was asked to do,

was to sit inside steel cages,

and dream of the outside sun.
