Ode to a Helper Monkey (HM)
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes
Colours and forms.
You find them anywhere
No culture is spared
They inhabit the universe.
I’ll do that
I’ll get that
I’ll find it
I’ll make it.
Letmeletmeletmeletmeletme
Fuck off, you are so irritating!
Those to benefit from one
Will appreciate the help.
They will come to depend on them
They will look for them
Nurture them
Find space in their lives
Own them.
Usually HM’s are attracted
To those who do not want their help,
Who find them stifling
Overbearing
Irritating
You want to kill them
Wipe them from your existence.
The helper monkey wants only to please
To be recognized as having worth
So when he can, he does
He cares not to be humiliated
That will fire his desire
To sell his soul.

hmm now that was interesting, I read to Mr. S and laughed out loud at your indented line and how right you are!!! 🙂
You know a few do you? Thanks, so happy Mr S got a laugh from it…..
nope … can’t say that I do….;-)
Lucky you. I worked with one once, the indented line was uttered quite often.
Helper monkeys are bad? Hmmmm always thought they were just helpful. Maybe others need patience 🙂
Very unique, very perceptive, very true!! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Helen.
They just want to belong. Give them tough projects and let them at it. I love helper types! And I refuse to call any person a monkey….
Thanks gimpet, I appreciate your comment and point of view.
An interesting Ode!
Ooh ooh ooh eee eee eee aah aah aah. 🙂
Thanks RoSy, a very astute if somewhat confusing comment. Lol.
