Five little monkeys
swinging in the trees
one fell over
and bumped his knees.
"Oh dear!" said the monkey
and off he sped
to get better soon
in his nice warm bed.
Four little monkeys
swinging high and low
one fell over
and bumped his toe
"Oh dear!" said the monkey
and off he sped
to get better soon
in his nice warm bed.
Three little monkeys
swinging far and near
one fell over
and bumped his ear
"Oh dear!" said the monkey
and off he sped
to get better soon
in his nice warm bed.
Two little monkeys
swinging far ahead
one fell down
and bumped his head
"Oh dear!" said the monkey
and off he sped
to get better soon
in his nice warm bed.
One little monkey
swinging on his own
he looked for his friends
and they'd all gone home.
"Oh dear!" said the monkey
and off he sped
to snuggle up safe
in his nice warm bed.

Another one I'd like to make into a children's book.
For my little one due in October. Already a monkey!
