"What Monkeys can do With Bananas"
By Elizza
I say,
The zoo is a very interesting place.
Especially,
When things escape.
But when the monkeys
get out of their cage,
The whole word flips
And turns into a banana juggling stage.
Yes, read that again.
That really is true
Monkeys can juggle
And a lot better than you
But wait,
Let’s go back.
Way way back.
When the zookeeper first arrived
And all about that:
He was a little man,
A dwarf, I’d say
He had a little top hat
And he demanded extra pay.
He was ready in a heartbeat
And the first thing he did?
He dressed up the monkeys
Then gave them torches that were lit.
He told them to juggle,
But they just shook their heads
It wasn’t the fire, though.
They wanted bananas instead.
So the zookeeper got some bananas
And lit them with a torch
Finally they juggled
And the bananas got scorched
Then the monkeys handed the bananas
Right to the crowd
They gobbled them up,
Then the monkeys demanded to be let out
So a little girl stepped forward,
And sweetly asked for the keys
The zookeeper was alarmed,
But she had said please.
So he gave her the keys.
She unlocked the cage,
Then held it open wide
The audience screamed,
And a little boy cried
But then what happened?
The monkeys waved to the crowd
Then jumped around.
They looked for a flame
But found a torch on the ground.
They lit up some bananas,
And began to juggle
They juggled for hours
Until all was left of the bananas was rubble
They began again and again,
You can find them there today!
And the dwarf is still their friend.
Until the end.
