SELF AMUSE

I made a monkey from a sock
So that I’d have what with to play.
With him I play ’most every day,
I so love playing with Macaque.

It’s fun, sometimes, to throw a rock
And break a neighbor’s window pane.
My Monkey-Friend must share the blame,
For I was playing with Macaque.

The other kids from down the block
Are jealous of my Monkey-Friend.
They each want one; the latest trend
Was spawned by me - me and Macaque.

I keep it under key and lock.
For what one loves, one must protect.
Without it, I would be a wreck,
I could not do without Macaque.
