The Monkey Astronaut

The monkey astronaut looked back at me

As I stared at it with strange glee

I could still see the hands that drew it

Even while sitting in a room so badly lit


The monkey astronaut had seen it all

The jumping, the dancing and the fall

A night where glasses were never empty

Where good and ghastly jokes were plenty


The monkey astronaut had heard it all

The howling, the laughter & the brawl

As the lights went from blue, to green, to red

A memory where sadness had truly been dead
