Ode To The Monkeys

monkey see

monkey do

makes you wonder

what inspired the first monkey

a monkey wrench

in the works

causes us to see differently

a new perspective

a creative solution

nit picking

monkeys

teaches us to care

to reach out to others

to pick the nits

that can't be reached

hear no evil

see no evil

speak no evil

wise little monkeys

climbs like a monkey

fearless

determined

reaching new heights

ten little monkeys

jumping on the bed

taking a risk

having some fun

one falls off

the others keep jumping

wisdom of the monkeys

in a nutshell

take a chance

have some fun

be brave

change your approach

help a brother out

keep climbing

and avoid evil

smart little monkeys

Ever since Alexandra was a baby, we have called her monkey.  Why it started I couldn't say.  It does seem to be an appropriate term for my adventurous granddaughter.  She climbs everything without fear, she mimics everything she sees and hears, and she has an incredible curiosity.  She know no fear, she looks for alternative ways to accomplish whatever her goals are and she is very kind hearted.  She is quick to help and often wants to do things her own way.  I hope that she never loses these characteristics.  In fact, I hope to learn to be more of a monkey myself.  How about you?
