Space Monkey (and how we evolved)

I was bored at work last week, and started random typing...resulting in this badly structured thing...

Space Monkey (and how we evolved)



speak easy my little monkey, you have not got the time to exist
opposable thumbs have stopped working, grey matter starts to resist
but look over there at that world, all vibrant and wonderfully new
if only you had some nice wings, you could fly there and take in the view.

but wait, my small chimpy chum,
no need to start looking glum,
what's that over there by that drum?
take your hands out of your pocket,
put those peepers back in your eye socket,
I do believe that that there's a rocket!

climb in my ape-ish good friend, put the turbos up as high as you can
boosters to neutral, hands off the thrust, mind your head on that overhead fan
take a seat, wear that helmet, get ready! with that big green button saying 'go'
don't forget the seatbelt, must use it, this thing is the opposite to slow.

but wait, my little boy,
there's no need to act coy,
you think this thing is a toy?
take your hands away from your eye,
wipe your tears there's no need to cry,
you're safe here - we're not going to die!

up, up and away my good son, fly past the sun, the moon and those stars
bye pluto, neptune and uranus, now saturn - past jupiter - look! there goes mars
here we are, your new home to inherit, and populate and then to destroy
it's not that you're planning to do it. it's fate, there is no real ploy

but wait, my best man,
is there no good plan,
or reason to why you ran?
there is no solution,
to all this horrid pollution,
they say here on earth - it's evolution!
