Naughty

A naughty monkey

Stole my front door

Keys.

I said to him, please

Give me back my front

Door keys?

He said well you will

Have to plead? I said

I will not plead, but look

Now you’ve hurt your knee

And now it will bleed!

He said please help me

With my knee I don’t want

It to bleed! I said OK but

Never ever steal my front

Door keys, and do not ask

Me any more to plead.
