Four Little Monkeys

(sung to the tune of “Five Little Pumpkins,” if you know that song – Mom!)

Four little monkeys

Gathered round the tree,

Grinning so big

In their Christmas jammies.

Nicholas just stared;

He could not believe his eyes.

Then Dylan said,

“Come on, you guys!”

Elijah saw his name;

It was written everywhere!

(Except on the bows

For his sister Maddy’s “hair!”)

How cute the monkeys looked

In the twinkly lights

As they gobbled up the candy

That Santa left last night.


A special thanks to all our family for helping to make our monkeys’ Christmas wonderful. They had a truly happy day!

Elijah looks pretty happy with that candy!! The monkey pj's are adorable, as are the monkeys in them. That's a really neat Christmas tradition, too. New homemade pjs every Christmas.
Great poem - I was humming as I read it. What fun! Mamasmama
