I Hired a Monkey

One time I hired a monkey He took notes for me in every class I would just be sittin’ there My mind a happy blank Well my monkey, kept busy Scribbling on little paper pieces At the end of the fourth week Teacher succinctly said, “Now class, using all your notes I want you to write a long report.” So this is what I then penned “Hello, my name Bingo! I like to climb on tall things! Can I have a gooey banana? Eek Eek!” How’d I get an F! I told mom about it, The teacher liked him better! Why’d the monkey make an A? She said “My bad, I never told you! Never trust a monkey!”
