Spank The Monkey
You can spank the monkey if you like
You can spank him as often as desired
Always best with an open handed spank
Anything else would be positively uncouth
As for the monkey on your back
He is impossible to reach and spank
An open handed spank will not work
Only an open and positive mind
Can spank that kind of monkey

Can spank that kind of monkey
Love & Intellect are EVERYTHING!
Gotta agree with Katja about the chocolate!

In reading this I often wonder just how many of us have that monkey draped across out back? Persistent little bitch...I enjoyed this David!

You made me smile right up to those last 2 lines. And then I felt the light bulb flick on. Brilliant use of humor and truth.
