Fire Monkey
Listen to poem:
Cunningly swinging
On the trees of life
Playing his pranks
Winding up the wife
Enjoying every challenge
Using his brain
Owning it. Bossing it
Playing the game
He's a Chinese Monkey
- a little bit spunky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Dashing, darting
With daring and drive
Top of the tree
And feeling alive
Dancing with spirit
Fire and wit
Not at all annoying
- well, maybe just a bit(!)
He's a Chinese Monkey
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Friendly when he wants to be
He'll pat you on the back
Can get a bit competitive
Never one to slack
Ants in his pants
Fire in his belly
Gregarious. Free.
Can give it some welly
He's a Chinese Monkey
- Full-speed junkie
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Nimble on his feet
Able with his hands
Confident and up-beat
Always with a plan
Charming little fella
Curious too
Has the metal and the dignity
To get himself through
He's a Chinese Monkey
- can get a bit funky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit
Little bit of attitude
Little bit of grit
Little bit of attitude
Little bit of grit
