What it is

June 2010: In a desperate attempt to stave off senility, the monkey began writing a poem a day. By summer's end he'd begun to run out of versified political rants and philosophical bloviations. Then he hit on the improbable idea of writing micro fiction in the form of Elizabethan sonnets. Eureka. The birth of the "Sonnets From Other Lives" series. Two hundred plus lives later, he's still at it.

8/19
I just saw a new
poll from Pew
that says
18% of Americans
think the President is Mohammedan.
This is hard to fathom since
it's not borne out by evidence
Ask Americans what any truth is
& 20% or so are stupid.
e.g.
20% or so believe...
...that Saddam Hussein planned 9/11
...that Christianity's the national religion
(& is says so in the Constitution)
...that men & dinos coexisted
( that's from science teachers in Texas)
I'm noting, but I'm not surprised,
that these beliefs all lean stage right.
Clearly those who form their views
listening to Limbaugh or Faux News
have gotten just a bit confused.
Could brain damage result from
listening to Republicans?
