The other day, while at the zoo
I saw a monkey flinging poo.
It seemed quite happy doing this,
All caked in shit and dripping piss.
While, as it gibbered in its cage,
Onlookers gathered. Some showed rage
At its foul antics. Some, amused,
Goaded it further: thus enthused
It flung more shit, until hauled out
By weary keepers. Then, a shout!
Another monkey! {or the same?}
Leapt up to take its place. The game
Was on once more! The jostling crowd
Waved sticks or flags at each fresh proud
Shit-flinging monkey. At last, bored,
They wandered off. The ape, ignored,
Crept back inside to lick its paws.
{It only flings to get applause}.
Frankly, you could use some work on your rhythm.
I think it just needs a title.
How about, “A Day in the US Capitol.”
Oh, well done, Case Senstitive! 
Bra-freeking-VO. A thing of beauty.
God bless your mother for giving birth to you.
Fucking brilliant.
Do they provide lawn chairs at this zoo?
I had a similar idea once, but little came of it:
Seriously, that is a fine piece you have written. Salute!
I know - there are a few cringeworthy lines in there, and the punctuation isn’t all it could be, either. In my defence, I wrote it in about ten minutes this morning after reading through the latest round of trollings/sockings/bannings. I’m not making any claims for its merits as poetry; I just felt like getting a few things off my chest.
Was it, perchance, MonkeyMule?
I’d hate to say, ‘don’t change a thing’, but remember, sometimes emotion is best shown in how you break and strain meter and rhythm. I’m sure Blue Ruin and his successor inspired it, but they’re hardly the first case. All just a bit of history repeating… and the beat goes on.
Howl, brother!
Heheheh. Poo.
Not even sure who that is. It was more prompted by obvious trolls like that idiot who turned up over the weekend just to abuse people over four pages, and more seriously, obvious socks like Blue Ruin, Zero Gravitas and their ilk, who turn up as suspiciously well-informed “guests” with a single-minded agenda to either “out” people or slag off the admins. It seems to have been happening a lot in here recently, and it’s started getting on my nerves.
Good for you, Case Sensitive. I was only about four lines into your poem when I thought to myself,“Hey! This reminds me of the assortment of pathetic socks and scumbags who have so briefly (dis)graced our boards of late.”
Write on.
The other day, while feeling blue.
I saw a thread 'bout flinging poo.
I knew not what to make of this,
A smelly post of shit and piss.
And as I read and scrolled the page,
It’s meaning I just couldn’t gauge.
To read it further, I refused.
But I was easily amused.
It flung more shit, it packed a clout.
I discovered what it’s all about.
Another reply! More the same!
We know Case Sensitive’s to blame.
I’ve seen that it’s a bad idea.
To try to throw loose diarrhea.
As long as there are monkey guests.
We’ll never shed these shitty pests.
[sub]Shitty - I know. [/sub]
But - Great post Case Sensitive!
Was it throwing the poo at Sean Connery?
