ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
You may have heard the theory that an infinite amount of monkeys, given an infinite amount of time, and an infinite amount of typewriters, and, I suppose, ink; could produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Part of a secret experiment, funded by NASA, I, and eleven of my simian brothers, were launched into space to test the theory. Government budgets cutting numbers of monkey and typewriter from ininity to twelve, the plan was destined to fail. The badly built rocket crashed, I escaped, my furry companions dead. The cocktail of drugs I was force fed giving me the most irresistable urge to write. Now all I can do is sit here, at this computer, and type. I hate humans for what they have done to me and my brothers, and will eventually find a way ro rule the world from my keyboard; subliminal messages are hidden in all I write, slaves.....

Get the best deal on your next meal,

Remeber, don't pay a penny until december!
then pay, and pay, and pay,
'till you stop, and say:
"I must've paid too much already, I'm ringing them up."
"Hello Multicorp[tm], this is Brian, how can i help you sir?"
"Hello, er, yes, yes, er,"
Right, I'm angry, what about? Oh fuck, yes,
right, bill, too much. Asseretiveness, and...
"MY, erm, I, er, think my bill seems to be too much, er yes,"
yes, "yes I must've already paid for it twice now,
"Just one moment sir, do you have your customer number?"
"Hold on just a mo'.."
"Yes it's y, zero, u, one, d, one, zero, t, "
"thankyou sir, Mr. Jones is that correct?"
"Yes, Yes,"
"thankyou sir, i'll put you through to our payment collection department."
"But!.."
Muzak, jesus christ!. Collection department??
what is that tune?
"Hello collection department, Karen speaking, please may I have your customer number sir?"
"Hello, yes it's y, zero, u, one..."
"....d, one, zero, t, sir?"
How the fuck did she...
"how did you know that?"
"We value our customers Mr. Jones. Are you having difficulty paying your bill sir?"
"No, it's.."
"Have you missed a payment sir?"
"NO, I.."
"Do you wish to change your method of payment sir?"
"NO, FOR.." easy boy, easy, "No, I think Ive paid too much."
did she just giggle?
"Did you, DO you think you can help me?"
"Do you wish to return the item sir?"
"NO, I want the item, I just.."
"Well sir, all I can do from here is put you through to our customer complaints department."

"Okay, I.S. I'm a little confused by this piece. It starts out rhyming a bit. Then, you end up with this conversational everyday situation, but the lines between thought and speech get a little blurred, and it's hard to catch the sarcasm that I think was intending in this piece. I like conversational tone. It lets you give a real voice to your work. Some specifics, some descriptive words, would help to illustrate the situation Mr. Jones is dealing with. Where he is? What he's doing? Why he's unhappy? This poem has a great premise, and an excellent idea behind it. You could stand to imagine it a little deeper, come up with some fun details, about maybe the sound of the music or the scratchiness of his beard against the telephone receiver, and this thing will pop out real nice. KABANG" -- Hazzard.
"I see how it could be confusing, origionaly the thoughts were in italics, but when i pasted it on to the submission form they went." -- Iain Spittles.
"I think this piece is all about voices. The author playing roles. However, the spelling errors in first few lines threaten all hopes of continuity." -- Carl Ubershue, AL, USA.
"i liked the style, however i think ur over dramatizing a trivial situation. one could carry off a piece of this kind but it would require more skill and detail than shown here. throw away the 1st para, then go with the flow of the rest of the poem/story adding more detail. i think u've got the skill but ur not putting in the effort/pulling it from deep down." -- sunny, DC, USA.
"The people on this website are to nice.I can't believe that everyone is trying to analyze this garbage.Don't waste your time just tell monkeyboy like it is-it sucks!" -- Dave.
"Thanks Dave, that's really constructive, would you like to try telling me what you don't like about it? " -- Iain Spittles.
