Three Little Monkeys

There were three little monkeys,
Named Mindy, Murray and Moe,
And everywhere they went,
They put on a little show.

Mindy was a dancer,
And she was very good.
She danced like a ballerina,
Then tap-danced where she stood.

Murray was a tumbler,
He jumped and flipped about.
The children really liked it,
And were quick to clap and shout.

Moe juggled apples,
Sometimes oranges, too.
He used his hands and his tail -
What a funny thing to do!

When the three little monkeys,
Had finished with their show,
The children cheered and clapped,
For Mindy, Murray and Moe.

this is one of the best ones I have seen . It's got good meter and is what would be interesting to a kid if his mom were reading to him. Did you know Eve is gonna make a book of our entries in her contests? She will sell it a very good price, so watch for that! (I had a little plan in the back of my mind to do a foodie book on YOUR favorite contest form, but not all the letters have food represented!!!) I thought it'd look cool with illustrations and recipes!!

Now this is a very cleverly written poem. I was never a big fan of children's material, but this is one of the best efforts I've ever seen on this site.
