Monkey's Dad's definitions

The Religious Left

Liberals who have their own definition of "the right to life".

Unlike members of the Religious Right, the Religious Left doesn't advocate ripping children from their mother's arms and putting them in cages, putting prisoners to death when witnesses have recanted and they have been refused the legal admission of DNA exoneration, or the necessity of carrying assault rifles into church. Just sayin'.

complain't

A complaint that isn't.

An actor's lament that while he could recently walk the streets unnoticed, fans now come up to him for selfies.

Her complain't that men looked desirously upon her when she entered a room would, in a few years time, become a genuine complaint that no one looked anymore.

Covid's Metamorphoses

An epic poem, waiting to be written.

Don't touch yourself

Not the eternal 'you'll-burn-in-hell' admonition from parents, nuns and priests received by millions of adolescents. Now, it's your face that is the forbidden body part.

Quietly closing the door behind her, stripping off her gloves, sliding out of her mask, she kept repeating "Don't touch yourself" although she desperately craved the feel of her own fingers.

Hydroxycloroxquine

The bomb. A tablespoon of Clorox mixed with hydroxychloroquine.

If drinking Hydroxycloroxquine meant she could go back to the nail salon, she'd have a double.

Remdeceiver

A new 'miracle cure' for Covid-19 which is not a miracle cure.

"Remdeceiver is being touted as a cure", the epidemiologist said, "when it merely shortens the recovery of Covid-19 patients. We need either a cure or a vaccine."
