Four Monkey's Lives
Zhuhai International School, Ran, Sean - 10
There once were four monkeys,
They had different pets,
A dog, cat, horse and donkey,
But they never slept on beds.
The four monkeys have no names,
They can’t even talk,
They love the feeling of pain,
That gives everyone a shock.
One day the monkeys played,
But the strongest monkey grew tired,
That’s when he went away,
But he actually was hired.
Another day came they had a race,
But the fastest can’t feel pain,
The others didn’t chase,
Just let him go away.
Two monkeys were left behind,
Thinking what to play,
Trying to see whose more kind,
Died without any shame.
