Monkey Man was a happy man. ..or young fuzzy ape..he was walking on air, soaking in the rays of brilliant light. .who knew love could be so grand..or fast they only talked for five minutes after skating..but they had a plan..a lunch date during school..at the finest place Monkey Man knew..Willy's greasy grill across from school. .
Now everyone knows monkeys are far smarter than people but monkeys are people too they just don't let them share the same classrooms. .and just for your information the short monkey bus should never be confused with the short bus..back to the story. .so the plan was to meet little Ms.Sunshine at the big pine tree by the cross walk to the finest lunch of her young so pretty life..Now Monkey Man went all in..Cashed in all the pop bottles he could find..had a pocket full of green. .dollar bills with a fiver wrapped on top..wore his best monkey bibs and new keds. High tops..
As he is walking out to the gate..remembering not to drag his knuckles he see her..the glow from across the campus..twinkling eyes and big bright smile..she waves and a feeling hits him..oh please not again..I'm a good monkey as it passes and a feeling of nerves on edge takes over..all the thoughts flow at once..don't slobber or pick your nose..No nervous gas please..you could reverse that into nerve gas..monkeys are pretty ripe..sit up straight and use your fork. .wait they only serve hot dogs and hamburgers. .wow close one. .something else the four cells don't have to go haywire over..as he reaches her and sees the twinkle his heart races.. a sweet hello Monkey Man..and hand in hand. .ya monkeys have hands not paws..they walk into a wonderful new future..
Now Monkey man had stopped early in the morning for his banana shake and had slipped Willy who reallly wasnt Willy but had bought Willies from Willie his real name was Fred but for the last fifteen years he had been called Willy..two bucks to reserve the corner table..as they came through the door the place changed as the Sunshine entered..Monkey man remembered his sore fingers..he had stopped to pick a rose for Sunshine. .good thing the bleeding had stopped. .would use a knife next time..they walked tobthe corner table..Now Fred who was known as Willy brought them menus. .Monkey man in his sweetest ape tone tells his Sunshine. .Don't pick that up with your fingers it takes days for the grease to wash off please use my napkin. .she giggles and accepts..so many choices..Hamburger, Cheeseburger or Hot dogs. .Monkey Man asks Sunshine what's your pleasure and don't worry anything you want is yours..Lil Ms.Sunshine says a cheeseburger and a vanilla shake..fries please. .Monkey man counting cash in his mind and on his fingers and toes order a hot dog and small soda..
Waiting on the food fingers touching and sharing laughs they both knew then this was special. .hearts know long before the mind..they shared their meal with deep stares..big smiles and a plan..Skate Rink Friday night..easy out for two young happy skaters. .happy call for a new young couple..and there parents wouldn't know..they share a small embrace and anxiously await new and better adventures. .
