The Menace

An elephant lost his trunks, And the kitten lost it’s socks. “Ha Ha Ha!” the monkey says, “You silly animals!” He mocks. While the monkey laughs and taunts One thing he doesn’t see. The pack rat’s taking his shoes and gloves, Now who’s the one that’s sil-ly? “Where are my gloves? Where are my shoes?” The monkey rants and raves. The pack rat sits in the corner and grins, All the animal’s things, he saves. The pack rat’s stockpile is growing fast, More quickly than you know. The monkey’s still looking for his shoes and gloves. While the stockpile continues to grow.
