Monkey Woman

I drift away to the haunting, the
sleek and crystalline sound of the
instrumental lead-in to
Monkey Man by the Rolling Stones, and
when the classic song is over, after
Mick has stirred his signature
voice and emotion into the mix, I
turn to my wife and tell her
I am glad she is a
Monkey Woman, too.
Innocent and serious, she
looks to me with an
inquisitive face and asks
what I really mean by
those words, and
I laugh and
tell her she can't fool me.
