this is the poem i'm animating:

“House Monkeys"
By Michael Mendonez

One day,
A man or woman throwing down their cashmere scarf in disgust stood up
To say,

“The way in which a chimpanzee would live indoors, I say,
is both unsanitary, dangerous, and most of all,
gay.”

Referring of course to the primal, primatial, homosexual tendencies.

And a representative from Montana with an old-fashioned brimmed hat with gray,

“My nephew’s niece’s husband’s brother’s neighbor’s mother’s got a monkey and I ain’t seen nothing sweeter.”

When a zoology expert with a knack for overassuming his own genius would belay,

“Bonobos have been known to know those who exemplify great fear at their appearance will be more likely to retreat and use that to get to exposed meat or shiny items that provide tiny crises like knives or vises.”

And they tossed the shit back and forth, one to another until the cashmere scarf say,

“So I propose the Captive Primate Safety Act
Be one of the hundred, no, thousand stacks of unvoted bills we enact.”

And the brimmed hat said nay,
But they passed the act anyway.
323 to 95.
And action is the driving force of change.


So will somebody get these monkeys out of the House?
