Flying Monkeys
They fly.
But why?

Monkeys see and do like men.
They love to ape their ways, but then
even more the monkeys savor
how often men return the favor.

Jackanapes!
You ask a simple question and all this monkey business ensues.
Ed - yours is a howler.

Bill, I will never look at geese flying south for the winter in quite the same way again. I missed the Meredith reference completely -- who knew he was big in Oz?

PS - Allen, that's it -- I'm re-subscribing to the New Yorker.

Birds can fly, and as you know,
at times they drop a gift below
that makes a most unwelcome splat
upon your windshield or your hat,
but when that happens, do not fret,
it's not as bad as things could get.
It may be foul, but it's not chunky.
Thank goodness there's no flying monkey!

Enters, Shakes Spear at Monkeys, Exits
Birds gotta fly
Fish gotta swim
But monkeys gotta type
All the plays of him.

If a flying monkey lost a wing,
would it be content to merely swing?
