Adventures of the Monkey King
Zhuhai International School, Qu, Felix - 11
There once was a monkey named Sun Wukong,
Who purposely ruined the feast near a gong.
He ate almost everything,
Then went running,
But at last he couldn’t sing a song.
There was the time where the Monkey King,
Who really made the humans ring.
He turned into an oak tree,
And next was a bumblebee,
But at last he wrecked everything.
The Monkey King was really hungry,
So he rioted something meaty.
Everyone saw,
Because he broke the law,
So he ended up in a prison not so perfectly.
It wasn’t a problem for the monkey,
Because he could summon the exact key.
The police were snoring,
So no sirens were roaring,
But at last the monkey turned into the key.
Out he went through the prison seal,
Back to the hole where he was first revealed.
For there he lived a happy life,
Free from trouble and strife.
But then he fought a great big deal.
And that took him back to the sky,
Where he was not able to turn into a fly.
He was put to work,
And it caused trouble to lurk,
Which ended up him getting hit by a knife.
But he didn’t die,
And it isn’t a lie.
Something you might not expect,
In his mind he had a plan set,
To fill the peaches in his side.
Then he jumped off the sky,
To his home where everyone was on his side.
The soldiers were all set,
For the palace was desperate,
To turn the Monkey King white.
The Monkey King won,
So he had a beautiful life long
Three cheers for the monkey,
Regarding what I see,
As the little monkeys sing a song.
