Monkey Friend

And the monkey breath!
You gotta pack that up, my friend
all smelling of termites and sticks
and other monkeys.
No one asked you to smell that way.
In fact, the assignation specifically connoted
replicating a contrary stench, to whit:
the non-monkey stench.
So why carmelize your ack ack ack ack ack, my friend, my friend?
Instead, hey —
flatten out your wallet.
Hey narrow your eye-wear.
Hey surge-protect
your estuary
knowledge core.

    That’s a humdinger of a last line, Cecil. Lovin’ the recent direction.

    I think “carmelize your ack ack ack ack ack” needs to become part of the lexicon. I’ll do my part. I wonder if they’ll throw me out of Starbucks. Perhaps repetition is the key.

    I for one would like to hear this one set to music on the hopefully soon-to-be-resurrected Monkey Vortex Radio Theater.

    estuary knowledge core…you know, the US has more than 100. Estuaries are vital habitats for thousands of marine species and have been called the “nurseries of the sea” because the protected environment and abundant food provide an ideal location for fish and shellfish to reproduce.
    recent oceanic themes (immigration by sea, estuaries). back to water/womb, eh cec?
    i haven’t touched upon the monkey theme, because touching monkeys illegal in blue states. but, i will say that ‘the meteors’ produced an album entitled ‘stampede and monkey’s breath,’ and while the lead singer’s voice is like rove’s morals, i kid you not, there is a song, “Cecil Drives a Combine Harvester,” which stinks, but hey, it’s named cecil.

    On “carmelize your ack ack ack ack ack”, am I the only person who was hearing [so-called] dialogue from “Mars Attacks”?

    Actually — that was *exactly* the reference I had in mind. I like the movie, but I love that sound. There was a time when several of us agreed that “ack ack ack ack ack” was the sound of the decade. And I’ve yet to hear any sensible argument agin’ it.
