Hanging out while the monkeys type away
Waiting in my room all day...

Man. This isn't a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters. It’s twenty thousand monkeys at a single typewriter, and half those monkeys are screaming and desperately trying to progress while the other half throw crap everywhere. It’s wonderful.

Sidewinders wind through fried wires
In a room of higher primates climbing on typewriters,
Trying desperately to organize an alphabet in prose
That would render them in drastically exaggerated roles!
