I love your eyes so sweet and

blue

Your lips so full

a deep red hue

I love your

Your cheeks your

I love the way you shake

and quiver

As I finish off your

liver

International Monkeying Around Day

Today is the day you can drop your inhibitions and channel your inner simian.

We are evolved from them.....so lets go back to a simpler time.

How to celebrate :

Have a banana

Go to the zoo to see our ancestors

Watch Planet of the Apes

Throw your pooh !!

Anyway you do it, enjoy the day.....Go Ape !!

Monkey Facts

Monkeys have tails; apes don’t. But Monkey Day celebrations extend to all non-human primates including apes, lemurs and tarsiers. 

New World monkeys (from Central or South America) have 36 teeth; Old World monkeys (from Africa or Asia) have 32 teeth. 

New World monkeys can generally swing by their tails; Old World monkeys generally cannot

The call of the American howler monkey can be heard three miles away. 

Opera singer Enrico Caruso was convicted and fined in 1906 for pinching a woman’s bottom in the monkey house of New York Central Park Zoo. 

There are over 250 known species of monkey. 

Monkeys have their own unique sets of fingerprints just as humans do. 

The smallest monkeys (pygmy marmosets) are about six inches long and weigh four ounces. The largest ones (mandrills) can be up to three feet long and weigh 77 pounds. 

The first monkey in space was Albert II who went 83 miles above the Earth in 1949.

Introducing Martin Dixon

I've showcased Martin's work a few times on this blog, an aficionado in the world of professional wrestling, Martin has now spread his talents to horror.

His new book Squad Ghouls is available now on Amazon .

Here is a description :-

Get ready for the night shift from hell! Convenience store workers Marcy and Jeanette hate the job, the pay and the clientèle but tonight is going to be so much worse. The Woman in White has risen, and seeks vengeance on the living but she didn't reckon on two retail veterans who really want to leave on time.

It's a cracking read, and I heartily recommend, here is a direct link ..
