Moon Monkey II (version 1)

my friend,
the moon monkey,
visited me this evening.

"how was your day?"
i asked it.

"oh," it replied,
"just the usual things -
looked at the stars,
then -
jumped on the clouds,
then -
went to the moon.
there -
flied over the serpent sea."

"that sounds like a lot of fun,"
i said.

"yes..." the monkey agreed,
"there are many wondrous things to see
there."

then:
"how was your day?"
it asked.

"ok,"
i replied.

...silence...

"never follow a dog act,"
the moon monkey said.

i looked at the monkey.
the monkey stared back.

i
said
nothing.
