This week’s prompt is “monkey”… and it finds me in a bit of a silly mood. You’ve been warned!
#1
Pity brass monkeys.
Our measure of cold weather?
Freezing their balls off!
#2
Families are tough…
I’m not a monkey’s uncle,
Cuz he’s mine instead!
#3
Hard not to see work
As a mad, pooping, screeching
Monkey on my back

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

A Certain Point of View 
You are certainly no chump (or chimp) where haikus are concerned. A grape job. G:)
