MONKEYS
The funniest thing / in the world / I know /
is watching / the monkeys / in the show//
Jumping and running / and racing around /
way up to the top / of the pole / then down //
First, they are here / and then they are there /
and just almost any/and everywhere //
Screeching and scratching / wherever they go /
They are the funniest things / in the world I know //
