Poem 96 - Tea with monkey

I was sitting outside, the day was becoming dark

I was sitting near the gate, Far away a dog did bark

I was watching the birds as they flew up high

The clouds moved away saying a kind good bye

I was watching the sky, I heard a sound behind me

Oh! It seemed to come from the big apple tree

But nothing, no movement only the wind's hollow sound

Through my head the few memories I remembered went round and round

I heard a noise but this time somebody touched me

I turned and saw a small, lost baby monkey

It seemed to want food, maybe it was hungry

Anyway now it was time for my tea

It sat down at the table touched the teapot

It seemed to like the blue color a lot

It suddenly ran in the middle of tea

Alone in the evening it left me
