A birthday gift

AWARDS ABOUND OR BOUNDING AWARDS

Once again, Andre the Blog Monkey's bar was a glorious decoration of wildly growing tropical plants. Heavy green vines and riotous color was growing from the ceilings and the walls. The tables were filled with bloggers who had come to celebrate the awards banquet.

The bar was serving Banana Daiquiris and the new vodka drink Andre had introduced as well as bountiful cups of coffee and even some tea.

On a platform set up to the left of the room Apondia was standing next to a microphone at center stage flicking it with her fingers to see if it was turned on.

Let's get this started. If everyone will give me your attention. Andre has given me a few minutes for some opening remarks. We are thanking Lilli and the Basement Guy for the fine decorations tonight. Let's give them a hand.

As people stand up riotous clapping and cheering are occurring. Apondia floats both hands in a downward
move and people sit down.

First, I have sent my muse to the basement to get some participants in tonight's festivities. My muse has been gone for a while, so, because it went to the basement I don't know when it will return or if it will return.

Second, for those of you who are experiencing some mental problems including barking sounds and growling within your mind. I want you to know my muse and I were at the Shelter for homeless Muses this week. We are fostering a Jack Russel terrier type muse. I wasn't going to bring it here.

However, my muse did bring it and turned it loose in the room right after we arrived. It is running around trying to give everyone it touches an adventure of a lifetime to write or just experience.

For those of you who are not familiar with a muse or insist muses don't exist, there is a new commercial hitting TV which will send you to a website, where you can hire a therapist to deal with your mental stress.

Another thing I want to express is about the Shelter for homeless muses. It has the most amazing types of muses there. So, if you are experiencing a lack of writing ideas, be advised for a couple of candy bars as payment you can take home enough wildly unusual muse to give any writer a brain change.

I see a hand waving at that table. What? A question? Sure, go ahead. I don't know. Ask Kevin who runs the shelter. Maybe they would take it back? Probably wouldn't give back the candy bars. Rent a muse? Maybe, you better ask Kevin.

Just then the door behind the bar opens. A couple hundred monkeys flow into the bar. Grabbing vines many of them swing into the air hooting and howling like monkeys do. Some of them sat on the floor on the stage others sat on top of tables all over the room.

Apondia whispered, I see you made it back.

The muse responded, I hope I did not bring to many. There were a lot of them around today.


Apondia clapped her hands several times and asked for quiet. Munchkin come up here please?

Munchkin a rhesus monkey hopped up on the stage. She was wearing an astronaut suit. Munchkin has a request for me to tell you about. Munchkin is a few times removed relative of Albert the first monkey person in space. If it were not for Albert, there would not be any type of space flight for humans. He gave his life, not necessarily his permission, so science could make space flight possible for humans. So, Munchkin thinks we should all lobby congress for a special holiday in Albert's name for all the monkeys of every variety over the years that have given their health and life to further any type of scientific breakthrough that benefits mankind. As you go home tonight think about it and call your congress man or woman. Anyone who makes it to the moon, mars, or beyond from the earth owe their travels to monkeys.

The last order of business I want to mention is Monkey Shines. You may not know it but there are hundreds if not thousands of people thinking about monkeys. Monkey emblems, movies, and holidays out there are dedicated to monkeys. The monkeys will be passing out cards with a website on it you can look at and think about how important monkeys are on the earth. Many are endangered, because they are losing their habitats on the earth.

There are also cards on the bar you can pick up that will send you to the website. The website is actually a part of Monkey Shines a way to celebrate a lunar Day or any day you choose. You can learn more on Facebook if you go to the monkey shines Facebook page.

I'm finished. Let's turn this celebration over to Andre and Brother Nature or Lilli. Whoever is in charge of giving out the awards. After they are finished, we have a band called "The Monkeys". You can dance the night away. Oh! a last note. Don't try to follow the monkeys home. You could get lost in the basement or even run right into a cement wall.

Have you ever watched monkeys dance that's a lark?
