No, your example is full of simple error- time alone would ruin/destroy both the the animal, the typewriter ( where did that come from) and the previous work, not even counting on the fact that someone with higher intelligence provided the typewriter, paper and etc to the chimp in the first place. You bought the farm on that one, but don’t let anyone tell you otherwise though.

Let’s say that time and elements notwithstanding, your chimp pounds the keys forever- all you would get is random series of letters continuing on and on. You would need some millions of random occurrences strung together w/o error in one series. So a million million chances to be wrong, only one chance to get it(all) right. You still “believe” that?

The fact that the bard had intent and intelligence to produce multiple separate works of literature made it so, not that he was a moronic chimp pounding away randomly for some time. The comparison is fraud.

the revised analogy must then be that the monkey’s are eternal, that the typewriter and paper are indestructible, an that the ink is endless-

in other words- An Intelligent Designer would have to intelligently design the experiment, using supernatural intervention- and directign the moneky’s fingers from time to time, in order for it to work eventually-
