~Ten Little Monkeys~ (Rhyming Couplet) Ten little monkeys went out to dine One ate too much and then there were Nine Nine little monkeys went out for a mate One got married and then there were Eight Eight little monkeys went to a 7 -Eleven One went to K-Mart and then there were Seven Seven little monkeys had some ticks One got sick and then there were Six Six little monkeys went for a drive One never made it and then there were Five Five little monkeys were very sore One went to the doctor and then there were Four Four little monkeys played with a bee One got stung and then there were Three Three little monkeys went to the zoo One toyed with a lion and then there were Two Two little monkeys went for a run One fell dead and then there was One One little monkey weighted a ton It went in a crash-diet and now there are none.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like to diet :) Sad state of affairs for the monkeys but it was an adorable piece :)
