Fire Monkey

Cunningly swinging
On the trees of life
Playing his pranks
Winding up the wife
 
Enjoying every challenge
Using his brain
Owning it. Bossing it
Playing the game
 
He's a Chinese Monkey
- a little bit spunky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
 
Dashing, darting
With daring and drive
Top of the tree
And feeling alive
 
Dancing with spirit
Fire and wit
Not at all annoying
- well, maybe just a bit(!)
 
He's a Chinese Monkey
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
 
Friendly when he wants to be
He'll pat you on the back
Can get a bit competitive
Never one to slack
 
Ants in his pants
Fire in his belly
Gregarious.  Free.
Can give it some welly
 
He's a Chinese Monkey
- Full-speed junkie
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
 
Nimble on his feet
Able with his hands
Confident and up-beat
Always with a plan
 
Charming little fella
Curious too
Has the metal and the dignity
To get himself through
 
He's a Chinese Monkey
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
 
Little bit of attitude
Little bit of grit
 
Little bit of attitude
Little bit of grit
 
 
Note:
2016 will be the year of the Monkey.   Fire Monkey is the zodiac sign of anyone born between 8th February 2016 and 27th January 2017 - also, for anyone born between 12th February 1956 and 30th January 1957.
 
Apparently, I'm a Tiger and they don't get on with Monkeys.  Had I been born a day later, I'd have been a rabbit, and they get on with Monkey's OK.
 
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.
