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.....

Since You've Gone Iain Spittles
I've bought that shirt you thought'd look good on me,
since you've gone.
It fits dead well, and I'm sure you would agree,
but you've gone.
In fact I've been on quite a shopping spree,
since you've gone.
Bought lots of things that I'm sure you'd love to see,
but you've gone.
Still; my life goes on.
