Ten Little Monkeys

(children's poetry) 


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 the bees 
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 monkey 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!!!
