The Wise Monkeys

 

The first of these three monkeys has

His fingers on his lips,

And not a single naughty word

Between them ever slips.

 

The second little monkey has

His hands upon his eyes,

The naughty things that people do,

This monkey never spies.

 

The last of these three monkeys has

His hands upon his ears,

The naughty things that people say,

This monkey never hears.

 

If any time some naughty thing

I wish to say, or see

Or hear, I must remember then

My little monkeys three.
