Brass monkey junkie  
That funky monkey…

With Winter coming soon, I thought we should share our brass monkeys.

I don’t have a brass monkey.

But now I have that song in my head.

I had a brass monkey but last winter, whist on the back porch making out with a witch in a brass bra, he froze his balls off. I haven’t seen him since.
