Fire Monkey
Playing his pranks
Winding up the wife
Using his brain
Owning it. Bossing it
Playing the game
- a little bit spunky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
With daring and drive
Top of the tree
And feeling alive
Fire and wit
Not at all annoying
- well, maybe just a bit(!)
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
He'll pat you on the back
Can get a bit competitive
Never one to slack
Fire in his belly
Gregarious. Free.
Can give it some welly
- Full-speed junkie
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Able with his hands
Confident and up-beat
Always with a plan
Curious too
Has the metal and the dignity
To get himself through
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Little bit of grit
Little bit of grit
Might one day write a poem on my own Chinese Zodiac sign, but for now I only hope my anti-monkey prejudice doesn't show in this poem…

David,
So that`s where all those jerky, jack in the box fights in those Chinese films comes from.
