OVER IN THE JUNGLE — A SKIPPING RHYME
Over in the jungle
it’s the monkeys’ time for lunch.
They like to eat bananas,
they eat them by the bunch.
Father likes the yellow ones,
Mother likes the brown,
and Baby likes the green ones
munching upside down!
Rebecca Newman
Rebecca shared this lively skipping rhyme on her website early this year. She wrote it in celebration of the Chinese Year of the Monkey. Here’s the link: https://rebeccanewman.net.au/2016/02/08/a-monkey-skipping-rhyme/
Rebecca says: I really loved skipping rhymes as a child, and I loved the skipping part too, especially in a big crowd with two people turning the rope.

Love it Rebecca.
Cute!
What a lovely poem, especially the rhyme and that unexpected last line.
