My House Was Robbed By A Monkey Poem by Chuck Audette

My House Was Robbed By A Monkey

Rating: 5.0


So long
- gone!
My classic movie tapes
of King Kong
and Planet of the Apes!

My giant Banana painting!
Shit, that too, he tried to steal.
Seems he slipped while carrying it
and it lost some of its appeal...

Look past the crime scene ribbon
the door was locked, you see.
You can take it for gibbon
'twas picked with a mon-key!

Long distance calls were made
from all of my phones.
The targets, I'm afraid
were Peter Tork and Davey Jones!

He broke my typewriter! Curses!
Oh, that beast had fun in here today.
I see he wrote some verses,
but at least none of Shakespeare's plays!

You know, if I catch that brute
I'll spank that monkey black
I don't care if it's cute
I'll even spank Macaque!

The police?
They don't believe me.
This case they won't be solving.
They say it could just be
that it's me...
(I'm still evolving)

If he got in using a Monk-ey maybe he lives down the monestry. Worth checking I liked this a lot and I need to be laughing a lot at the moment so thank you Chuck.

That part about Shakespeare plays really hit my funny bone...my other passion is music, and I've been working on an album called Infinite Monkey (based on the monkey/Shakespeare theory) . Great poem...very clever.

This cracked me up. And I'm tired of thinking non humorous poems were supposed to be funny and then finding out I had it all wrong..at least I'm safe this time! (smile)
