The Monkeys and the Crocodile

Five little monkeys swinging from the tree;

Teasing Uncle crocodile, merry as can be.

Swinging high, swinging low, swinging left, swinging right:

"Dear Uncle Crocodile, come and take a bite!"

Five little monkeys swinging in the air;

Heads up, tails up little do they care.

Swinging up, swinging down, swinging far and near:

"Poor UncleCrocodile aren't you hungry, dear?"

Four little monkeys sitting in the tree;

Heads down, tails down, dreary as can be.

Weeping loud, weeping low, crying to each other:

"Wicked Uncle Crocodile, to gobble up our brother!"

Another wonderful rhyme from Laura Richards.
