Monkey Shines
The mama took her little girl
to see the monkeys at the zoo.
Monkey sitting on a limb doing
“that thing” that monkeys do.
The little girl asked her Mama
why it was doing that.
“Oh, I don’t know, darlin’,
maybe to keep from gettin’ fat”
“I don’t know either mama,
but he’s looking hard at you.”
