Their Valued Jungles

Are we to believe that monkeys rafted to a new continent
to repair cars? Who would cross the ocean
just to tunnel under the Panama Canal?

But it's in the meaning of "Volkswagen,"
said the modern primate unintentionally. Related point:
We believe we have discovered marijuana or Tijuana,

it's unclear which. It may not matter.
But the vegetation is at least $22 million years old,
and rigged with the teeth of ancient diesel.

Tumbleweed in Vegas

The hairy weeds cascaded downtown in unprecedented swarms,
where they were spotted shopping, drinking,
and singing karaoke.

One aristocratic tangle haunts the Honeymoon Hotel.
Another drove a Maserati right into the local supermarket
(to get a carton of dry milk, obviously).

Looking like scarecrows at the beach,
they have taken over the technology and homes of humans.
But relax; the Lucky Dollar has experience with profligacy.
