MIKE The ''CHIMP'S'' - POEM

WHAT'S A CHIMP TO DO?

Well World, Here We Are, Again.
You Rejected My Advice.
No, I'm NOT Mad
But, I Have ONE Question.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I Mean, I Told You
It Is ALL About LOVE,
And. You Didn’t Seem ''Impressed’’
What's A Chimp To Do?

Oh, I See. You Want
Me To LOVE You, Too.
That's A CHIMP Of A Different COLOR

You Make It Difficult, Sometimes.
Have You ‘’Seen’’ Yourself, Lately?
You Present Yourself
In Such Different Ways

You're ANGRY, You're BELLIGERENT,
You're ARGUMENTATIVE, You FIGHT,

You Are HYPOCRITICAL, Too -
You're COLD - And You're WARM,
Yes, There Is That, Too.
What's A Chimp To Do?

You Tell Me That
You Will TREAT Me
The Way That I TREAT You
You Say That You Will Love Me
The Way That I LOVE You,

I am JUST To Be LOVING.
So, It ‘’IS’’ ALL About LOVE?

Wait-A-Minute, Hold-The-Phone, World –
You Say, That, You Told Me?
I Should-Take My Own ADVICE??

I Should JUST - Be LOVING.

AND,

THAT'S WHAT A CHIMP'S TO DO????

[Mike Appears Through The Courtesy Of Himself. He Has NO Known-Agent. HINT! HINT! He is not a bad Chimp, if you like working with chimps. He is a bit UNRULY, sometimes, but he is punctual and he hits his marks. He likes to think of himself as a BAD Mama-Jama, but, after a few bananas, he ''Toes-The-Mark.'' He has always been true to himself. Mike is his own CHIMP. That ''impresses'' me. We go way back. I've known Mike for years. CHLOE.]
