I wish I owned a monkey;
I know that we’d have fun.
He’d be just like a brother;
my folks could call him “Son”.
We’d watch TV together;
my homework we’d both do.
We’d play my favourite board games —
Monopoly and Clue.
I’d let him wear my t-shirts;
we’d skateboard everyday.
I’m sure whatever sport I’d want
that monkey would just play.
But sadly, there is no hope.
No monkey will I own.
I’m stuck with Butch, our boring dog
whose interest is his bone!
The Lonely Meatball 
Oh, how sad. But you can blame Butch for eating your homework, so he does have that redeeming value.

I couldn’t agree more. We have three dogs and they sleep on the bed. My father once thought of getting a monkey and dropped the idea when he heard that they couldn’t be house-trained. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
