Array ( [sid] => 133848 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The other monkey ate faster [time] => 2007-04-26 20:48:45 [hometext] => A couple of days back I saw the words 'The other monkey ate faster' and they inspired me to write a poem for my wonderful new girlfriend. That's all I'm saying really. [bodytext] => The other monkey ate faster
He ate my hopes and expectations
He ate my illusions; the imaginary connection
He bit through the wires and short-circuited the stars

You said I didn’t love my ukulele
Why would you even tell me?
This puzzled me as I sat wide awake at 4am
My brain leaked onto the computer screen
All my deepest thoughts and impossible dreams
Still you didn’t ignore me
That’s why I sang you happy birthday
That’s why you had to know I loved my ukulele

You were behind my eyes yet I couldn’t show you Africa
Now you’re in my soul but I can’t always be there for you
I’m handing you the manuscript of the story of my life
Correct the punctuation just don’t cast it aside
For the sequel may be all about you
