BEWARE OF CAGED MONKEYS

Island life has great benefits, but also its drawbacks, one of them is feeling like a caged monkey which reminds me of some of the Caribbean stories I hear.

Texan, who we met at the revolution party in July & ended up sailing with SeaFox down to Rio Dulce after I jumped ship in Roatan, likes to tell this story of the days when he was running a restaurant on another Caribbean island and his mis-adventures with Smokey.

At the hotel which had a nice restaurant on the water's edge, on an idyllic Caribbean isle, the owners kept a mini zoo on the property with a monkey, toucans, parrots and other small exotic animal's, who lived off the scraps from the kitchen. The animals naturally warmed up to him quickly and he was soon comfortable enough to go into the monkey's cage to fill the food bowl after meal time & "sometimes even put on a little show" he says.

On one particular
occasion, Smokey, the monkey had ripped the head off a parrot and handed back to the stunned woman standing outside the cage, the remains of her pet bird's torso. This after the woman had tried to introduce her parrot to Smokey, and when Smokey stuck her hand out the cage at the bird, the woman mis-interpreted it as a friendly hand greeting gesture.

Another time he says, he was in the cage cutting up the fruits with a big butcher knife when he set it down for a moment and Smokey quickly picked it up & he was suddenly stuck in a small cage with a mad monkey swinging a sharp butchers knife.

As Legend would have it, Smokey managed to escape from his cage and was going up the dock towards the boats at the tip when Texan first heard someone yelling for him. He comes out and See's Smokey walking up the dock and calls out to him, Smokey turns around and they start walking towards each other calm enough & Texan did not think much about impending mayhem.

A hero-wannabe who was eating at the restaurant & witnessing the scene, in SuperHero speed, grabs a fish net he sees
lying around the waters edge and proceeds to run up the dock past Texan towards the monkey, net wide open, with intentions to throw it over the monkey and capture it in front of the seaside dining audience and hopefully, to a hero's welcome.The previously calm monkey walking towards Texan, suddenly becomes irate as one would expect any of us to react, if an ugly gringo was running towards you trying to capture you, so...... Smokey pulls the net out of the guy's hands, throws it in the water as the Hero Wanna-be became a flat Zero rapidly bolting down towards shore flying past Texan, who didn't know whether to look at the fleeing Zero or the charging Monkey. The commotion, then obviously caused a panic with the spectators who previously sat glued looking at the island safari experience in awe & as their food turned cold, not believing they could actually be witnessing such a raw savage encounter between man & beast. As Smokey chases past Texan and catches up to Captain Zero, his new enemy, he bites him in the calf twice before the guy manages to escape. At this time, the temporarily frozen audience of diners on unexpected Safari, found themselves so quickly in the walk in freezer trying to flee the angry menacing charging monkey.

Smokey was seen leaving the area heading into town, hitching a ride on top of a car and the frightened guests were eventually let back out of the walk in freezer before they became popscicles.

Several hours later, Texan got a call to come and pick him up as he was in the vicinity.

Texan finds Smokey sitting on the hood of a car in a neighbor's yard and hoists him up to his shoulder as he seemed to have calmed down and is always hungry.
He hangs on to Smokey with one hand by the waist just in case he harbored intentions of escape again.

Texan:
"I can tell you monkeys like two things, eating and fu**ing " he says laughing the kind of laugh that brought tears to his eyes. This was a man clearly speaking from first hand experience & I was intrigued to get the details.

As he is taking the five minute walk back to Smokey's cage with a firm grip, Smokey starts to make himself comfortable between his fingers and
whispering in his ear "UGABU" UGABU" UGABU" "which I interpreted it to mean by his ensuing actions as I LOVE YOU" he says.

As he tells it, before he could even figure out how to reposition the monkey without it going loose again, and thinking fast how to save himself from any form of being an unwilling victim of
beastiality, Smokey had already orgasmed between his fingers. Texan says he was never comfortable about entering the cage alone again & risk putting on the "wrong kind of show " with Smokey. Texan eventually moved on to a few other Caribbean islands over the years before making a base on his boat at the end of the dock near Kangaroo in the RioDulce or in a fine restaurant somewhere in Roatan.
