Monkies on Skates

Posted on | August 1, 2005 |

Hello one and all. Today I thought that I post something from the children’s book that I am writing and illustrating. It is a book of poems and silly rhymes. If you feel the urge please tell me what you think. Well here it is for your pleasure or displeasure:

Monkies on Skates

 

It is a beautiful day

in the month of May,

the monkies want to play.

Their mamas say, “it’s okay.”

They lace up their skates

and fill their pockets with dates.

The little monkies skate straight

to a park for skates.

The joyous monkies swirl

and twirl

in the warm sun

and boy is it fun.

Someone brings a tape player.

And someone wears the hat of a sailor.

There is a monkey and her name is Taylor.

No time is gayer.

When the sun fades into the crack

between the hills and sky, their mams call them back

for their mid-afternoon snack

and nap. They’ll be back- that’s a fact.
