Moja the chimp could
talk, but now she's dead. Let's drink
a toast to Moja.
dear, sweet monkey friend
"I shit in the coffee pot."
were her final words
furious hands fly.
is she screaming and upset
or monkey dancing?
True, anathema. And you shouldn't really have to die from an abdominal hernia.
Posted by: Miguel on June 26, 2002 10:32 PMwhen she was alone
sometimes she'd talk to herself.
"Apple. Doctor. Bitch."
More than poo flinging
You were a talented girl
Communicating hands. Wow!
sweet Moja the first
let's not have this talk again
"Clint Eastwood's a jerk."
damn, can't count. it should read:
strike last line, add
Talking with your hands
kind of ruined the moment though. balls.
Posted by: anathema on June 26, 2002 10:38 PMmany words she said.
but her smile said the things that
her hands could never
deft chimpy paws can
speak more eloquently than
our anathema
monkeys mourn world over
I too, monkey that I am
"Take me instead God"
though we shed our tears
for this talking monkey girl
we are not alone
syllables evade
"can't count for shit," he says. bah!
"I'll just go home now"
Her chimpanzee family in Ellensburg has been showing their grief. Tatu signed HURT and CRY to her human friends and Dar has been signing CRY as well. Washoe has seemed very introspective and sat looking into the night enclosure area for a long time this morning after going into their playrooms for the day.

To the shore of sunless seas
You will live always
Talking chimps dwindle
The dialogue should go on
Does Washoe survive?
a single detail
can say so much about her.
she loved the velcro.
Apparently so.
Remember to check up on
Prior links, fuckwit!
monkey, to me you're
pan troglodytes troglodytes.
called Washoe for short
she liked to dress up
in her pretty red dresses
but, then, don't we all?
floppy purple hat
black dress-orange and red flowers
Moja would saunter
The only consolation I can think of is that for the first time Moja is getting to experience what it is like to be FREE. No bars, no glass; nothing but trees, sandwiches, and red clothes....as it should be, of course.
Amen.
moja, sleep in peace
you have left your friends behind
and we can watch them
So there goes Moja
First in Swahili
And the first to go.
if dong's hands could speak
dong would be in prison now
right where priests aren't
monkey's innocence
makes them quite easy to miss
yet tasty, I'll bet
A note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
