Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay

Mystery Monkey of Tampa

Up in the vine-laced trees,

crab-crawling down a post,

climbing over a stack of firewood,

the Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay,

a wild free-wheeling creature.

Mr. Monk appears very much at home

in Pinellas County, his comfort zone.

The monkey swings from the trees

and washes his sticky hands in a stream.

He is welcome to our little piece of paradise.

I couldn’t resist the “Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay” headline.  Live free, little monkey.
