This monkey is first to comment on

the moderator’s obvious hairpiece,

a stranger’s clashing blouse and pants,

someone’s bad skin, crooked teeth, attitude

and all your mistakes from birth to present

*

This monkey always has the loudest voice,

blaring like Aunt Agnes with her foghorn comments,

complaining about the warm vichyssoise,

criticizing

(Five A’s and a B?  Why the B?)

too fat too late too much too long

*

The monkey’s noise

is an unending stream of spam

filling your mind’s inbox,

blabbing commercials and news bites

so difficult to mute

*

Catch that creature!

Put it in a soundproof cell

without bananas.

Get on with

your life.
