Hi Rox,
Wa ha ha ha! This is a really great write and a super contest entry. This one should do very well.
Two offerings for your consideration:
"If your every at the Zoo"
I think you meant ever.
And it may serve you well to bold your text, as we have several vision impairwd and elderly members who night not be able to see the lovely delicate script.
Thanks for sharing and good luck.

I'm sorry about the script, I changed it hoping it is easier. Thank you too for the corrections, I fixed those. Thanks for the kind review. Glad you liked it. Rox

I have not been in the workforce for a very log time, but when I was there there were some co-workers who didn't do their jobs even as well as a trained monkey.

There are workers who act like monkeys but they are not as much fun. =} Thanks for the read and all the stars. Rox
Comment from robyn corum
Rox,
I think that person was highly rude and should have been slapped. Not by you, of course, you have too much class. Just give me their name and address. See - I don't have no stinking class.
One small note:
--> If your every at the Zoo be sure to say Hi."
--> If (you're ever) at the Zoo be sure to say Hi."
Thanks!

I did slap them, several times. =} No one has really ever said those words to me, but I often felt people didn't think it took a lot of brains. But it does, you have to do a job to understand it, just looking from the outside tells you nothing. I think they are beginning to understand more as the higher ups have been more involved and seeing there is a lot to the job. Thanks for the corrections, I made them. Thanks for the read and stars.

The problem is that you make the job look so easy. When you do something really well - that's what happens.

A very well-written poem/story for the animal crackers. Yes, for others it seems we have not much to do and the little we do a monkey can easily handle, until we put a monkey there then we see it is not so easy.

That is so funny, Rox. I've heard people actually say that, mostly from people who think they are so superior! Well done, your poem has started my day with a smile. I noticed a missing 'r' in 'drive') Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
The little bugger will dive you berserk!

Comment from D.Ream
This is a wonderful realisation of the saying that monkeys can do our jobs. The voice of the monkey is carefully crafted and the rhyme scheme gives the poem a sense of pace and fun. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
That saying is a form of bullying really, and is condescending. But you had your answer here and you should give this to the person who said those words. At least you see the funny side, the last sentence I think you mean (drive), typo, love Dolly x
