Our Pet Monkey

She has been known to swing

From limb to limb

But generally

She is somewhere

In

Blue-eyed

Piggy-tailed

Joy,

Cheeks

Bulging blissfully

The girl in the produce section at the super-market

raised her eye-brows at the amount of bananas in my shopping cart.

I quickly re-assured her that we have a pet monkey and her name is Victoria,

and I smiled at Victoria, who was with me…

‘Oh!’ said the girl…and I knew then that she didn’t realize the little girl with me was Victoria.

And I couldn't help but giggle a little, wondering what she was visualizing…
