The Three Wise Monkeys Three small monkeys on
my table Each as good as he is
able, Not to see or hear or
say Things unpleasant
through the day. One with hands across
his eyes, Careful that he never
spies, Does not see the faults
of others Neither playmates nor
his brother. One with fingers in his
ears That he’s sure he never
lies, Now the third with
fingertips Gently placed upon the
lips That he may not speak
unkind Thoughts that enter his
mind, Now without the
fingertips Pressing closely on the
lips, He should guard the
tongue as well And be cautious what we
tell. May the conscience be
our guide, Telling what to see or
hide; Let us learn without
delay What to see or hear or say. |
