I have a monkey
for my thoughts
hanging around
dangling down
by the tail
till it’s caught
often chasing
swing to swing
a string of a thing
I cling
carrying the thought
people say
no monkeying around
stop the thinking
the red wine
your drinking
and cage your mind
but with a jacket
and matching
white pyjamas
Tonight, dinner’s at the circus
and I’m going nuts
and bananas

I have a monkey
for my thoughts
hanging around
dangling down
by the tail
till it’s caught
often chasing
swing to swing
a string of a thing
I cling
carrying the thought
people say
no monkeying around
stop the thinking
the red wine
your drinking
and cage your mind
but with a jacket
and matching
white pyjamas
Tonight, dinner’s at the circus
and I’m going nuts
and bananas
Loosen up, let go and leave us alone
