Monkey Business In A Brazilian Bar

Many believe that early humans domesticated grain not to make bread

But rather to make beer and spirits instead

Even after thousands of years

Of drinking wine, spirits and ales and beer

A human with too much booze in his system is a human to sometimes fear

Too belligerent, too loud, sober humans away from him steer

In a bar in Brazil the patrons enjoying a night out another violent sot to find

Not another human but another drunken albeit still a primate kind

A monkey came in off the street

Grabbed and drank a glass of rum while on his bar stool seat

Then picked up a kitchen knife and chased the male patrons now fearful for their lives

All the while like a true gentleape left the females alone

Though they must have shaking to their very bones

Up on to the roof with his large knife trying to punch holes through so the zita bearing mosquitoes could enter and make the patrons sick

Finally firemen arrived, disarmed this drunk simian and from this bar 86ed

Scary times for the patrons but at least not a herd of pink pachyderm drunks

Sucking down large tankards of rum with their efficient thirsty trunks
