Three little monkeys

 

Three little monkeys

would often run me riot

never got a moment

to sit and just be quiet.

 

Three little monkeys

always on the go

I want I want I want

pulling too and fro.

 

Three little monkeys

always having fun

scattered toys galore

mummy on the run

 

Three little monkeys

and a mummy half dead

praying for the clock to chime

half past bed!

 

Three little monkeys

growing so fast

those little silly giggles

just an echo of their past.

 

Three little monkeys

now so grown

endless teenage hormones and

worries of their own.

 

Three little people

strange as it may be

how I miss those little monkeys

swinging off me.
