Beware
the red-nosed monkey
Who
thinks he is an ape,
For
he will play bad tricks on you.
You
won't enjoy his jape.
He
used to have a curly tail
To
help with climbing trees.
An
alligator bit it off.
He
joined the chimpanzees.
He
had a brother, I've heard tell,
Whose
name was Monkey Frank,
And
was rumbustuous in extreme,
Playing
many a naughty prank.
I
cannot tell you what he did;
His
naughtiness got much worse.
His
escapades became so bad
They
can't be told in verse.
Now
if I write a poem,
And
no-one writes one better,
It
is time to stop the writing
If
lines start with just one letter:
A
zulu warrior captured him
And
sent him to a zoo.
Alas
he was not happy there
And
his tail fell off too.
