Barrel of Monkeys (game)
Barrel of Monkeys is a toy game released by Lakeside Toys in 1965. It was created by Leonard Marks and Milton Dinhofer in 1961, and in 1964, Herman Kesler partnered to sell it to Lakeside Toys. Lakeside Toys released it in 1965 and today it is produced by the Milton Bradley Company within the Hasbro corporation. Milton Bradley's editions consist of a toy barrel in either blue, yellow, red, or green. The barrel contains 12 monkeys but can hold 24, their color usually corresponding to the barrel's color. The instructions on the bottom of the barrel state "Dump monkeys onto table. Pick up one monkey by an arm. Hook other arm through a second monkey's arm. Continue making a chain. Your turn is over when a monkey is dropped." In addition to these basic instructions, the barrel also contains instructions for playing alone or with two or more players.
Time magazine ranked Barrel of Monkeys at #53 on their 2011 All-Time 100 Greatest Toys list.
The first speed record for a standard 13 monkey barrel of monkeys game was set by Dr. Gilbert Patterson on November 29, 2014. The time was officially recorded as 2:01:88 minutes, and has yet to be beaten.

Barrel Of Monkeys
by: MisdemeanorYou suffer from a
kleptic, anerexic, genitexic pesticide
It hides inside
You don't realize the commercial
Qualities of a sentimental suicide
Just let it ride
The lemon-scented geometric
Carbonated Neo Warhead
Left for dead
The love triangle jaculate
The food stamp circle hesitate
It's red
That's what he said
But do you understand?
This rancid residue
It's in you, It hides in you
All you know is what you don't
You always read what is not wrote
It's okay, but just today
Your persecuted privelidge
Alone, home, confused little kid
Not the way, well hey, hey, hey
But do you understand?
The half-truth, white lie stew
It's in you, It's all in you
Follow me
I said now, Do you understand?
This rancid residue
It's in you, It hides in you
