A reason for "This Monkeys Life" or if you please "Reasons for Strange Words and Tales"

Someone once asked if the things I write about are real or born of a twisted imagination. I'll leave that to you, Dear Monkey, to decide.

I no longer go out of my way to discuss the words I write or their meanings and purpose. I grow weary of being asked if I am mad or insane. 

But what is madness? What is insanity?

Definition: Mad - mentally disturbed; deranged; insane; demented.

Definition: Insanity - the condition of being insane; a derangement of the mind.

f I had to choose one I would choose madness. It's just sounds more fun. After all you never hear about the criminally mad, do you?
