Monkey Man was normally a happy monkey..but everyone has one of those days..well and guess who's name was drawn from the hat..Now most bad days have the common courtesy to allow you a full nights rest before waking you up and thrashing you. .Monkey Man was awakened at one minute after midnight. .Mom was home and she was mad..screaming about the mess..well Sunshine helped clean the laundry room and fix his clothes. .as he staggered to meet the wrath..on the bright side maybe no baby brother this time..
After a few hours of sweeping. .wiping..washing and a slap on the back of the head he was done..ya got to remember never ask dad if the little blue pill worked..damn..he looks at the clock and he's twenty minutes late for work..he runs out and pulls the rope on the mini..Now a monkey can yank on a rope and he had gave it a tug..as it unwound and broke free he knew a least a small amount of pain was about to be inflicted upon him..the wide arch took the end of his rope to what his human counter parts would call the left lower cheek..as he felt the pop his eyes began to water.he uttered his third or fourth damn of what was to be a multi damn days..
Gets to work and spends another twenty minutes getting his butt chewed by Mr. Big eared Wisconsin cheese head I inherited this station from my father in law about being late..the first customer of the days pulled up..as he walks out he hears I don't want no damn harry ass chimp servicing my truck..Just what I need a monkey hating fat ugly red faced human..who smells like a dead cow..he hung his head and did his job..bad breathe and all..
So after a whole slew of snotty humans and a couple of to rude gorillas. .ya gorillas can't get a drivers license either but you tell them that..lunch is finally here so he strolls the the corner store. .a few bananas and a big red apple should do the trick..apples smelled like his Sunshine when he hugs her..he walks to the back and what..No bananas and one apple with a mean looking worm. .he hangs his head and walks out..he sees a pay phone and stops..should I call Sunshine. .she said anytime as he starts to put in a dime the phone rings..another damn but with better meaning he answers..Hello..its Sunshine. .hi Monkey Man..what's wrong..he tells her about his morning. .she just says sorry and I'm busy meet me at our special place after work. .and hangs up..
He hangs his head lower as he slowly heads back to work..that's not like Sunshine. .wait she said keep your head up..with the side walk just inches from his forehead his stands tall.. and walks right into the stop sign face first..Damn. .the bad kind..that was either bad advice or timing..as he sulks through the remainder of his day..he had reached the point the bad day had won as he walked towards the park..
Puppies are playing and children are laughing as the enjoy the freedom of youth..he smiles at how the real smiles can be seen and true joy fills the air around it..Sunshine is sitting at their table..smiling and soaking it in..she stands and gives him a hug..a so special hugs that lifts all the damns and the day from his heart. .she whispers in his ear..I'm always here for you..sometimes it better to face the days on your own..you learn and you grow..I Love you Sunshine. .thank you...
Me..
