IZZY-THE
SOFT GREY MONKEY
by
Grandma
Baadsgaard
I love you Izzy. I hope you like this poem I wrote just for you.
Izzy is a soft grey
monkey
Who lives up in the
trees
And if you want some
excitement
Just whistle if you
please
For Izzy likes to
dance and play
And swing from limb
to limb
She smiles your way
if you say
Monkeys don’t have to
be prim
While some monkeys
like bananas
Izzy would rather eat
pie
So if you bring her a
yellow bunch
Izzy rolls her eyes
and sighs
Izzy likes to give
big hugs
And lots of snuggles
too
So if you’re ever sad
or lonely
Just ask for one or
two
For monkeys have lots
of energy
They simply can’t sit
still
But if you need a
pick-me-up
Izzy’s love is for real
If you’re looking for
a boring monkey
who is quiet and
holds still all day
You better look
somewhere else
For Izzy’s here to
stay
