Monkey and Me

For Children -- My nephew was Nicholas but my sister call him Pickles ... the name stuck -- true story. Pickles loved his Monkey

 

Monkey and Me.

 

 

Nana calls me Pickles

And I am nearly three

And this is really about

My monkey friend, and me.

 

When Monkey is very tired

I curl up in my bed

Monkey is beside he

And I pat his little head.

 

Monkey’s eyes begin to close

But ----I will never peep

Then I stay -- so very still

‘cause Monkey’s gone to sleep.

 

I stay quiet and will not move

Till Monkey’s wide awake

Then Nana comes to hug us

And bring us -- milk and cake.

 

I teach my monkey how to play

He is my special toy.

My Nana calls me Pickles

And I am her special boy.

My son Miles has a stuffed monkey that he sleeps with. I read this one to him and he is convinced that he knows you and you wrote this for his especially. :)

this was a real pleasure to read. it almost felt like a monkton poem, with it's childlike innocence and rhythm. dazzling.
