the monkey


The monkey jumps
Tree to tree
Swinging his body
It's life of free

Sometimes he sits
The electric cable watching
The movements on the ground
What are they trying to do?

The monkey feels his choice
Nobody can touch him now
He sits on the cable looking contented
Knowing he has the bananas in sight

The cameramen clicking away
Taking his picture thinking he is a god
Walking confidently on the cable
Dancing his monkey tricks

He hops and jumps
Somersault sometimes
Screaming his delight
He never sees the python

The people shouting at him
He doesn't pay attention
He jumps around showing his skills
Falling right to the opening mouth

The monkey screams in pain
As the python squeezes him
Breaking his bones cracking it
The monkey knows he is a goner
