The Monkey In Me!

Vol. 1   Chap. 200

                    The Monkey in Me!

               I Have a Monkey Inside Me!

               If She Could, She'd Jump Tree to Tree!

               But Since I Live Inside a House,

               She Jumps on Beds, Chairs and the Couch!

               On Christmas, to See Gramma Pat,

               We Went to Shane's Where Pat Was At!

               Who Knew Shane Had a Trampoline,

               Protected by a Monkey Screen?

               For the First Hour, T'was Only Me,

               Bella, Jumping with My Monkey!

               She's Invisible to Most Peeps!

               But I See All Her Twirls and Leaps!

               By the Third Hour, Sister Audrey,

               Spied the Fun Me and My Monkey

               Had Bouncing Higher Than a Tree!

               She Called Shane!   They Joined My Monkey!

               By The Fifth Hour the Adults Came.

               That's When Gramma Pat Blew My Brain

               Pat Said, "That Trampoline, It's True,

               Sure Brings Out the Monkey In You!"

                          Merry Christmas One and All!

                But Mostly I'm a Real Good Kid!

                Just Look Back at That Race I Did!

                Father Joe's Mission is to Feed

                And House Our Neighbors Who're in Need!

                When Father Joe Needs Help!   It's True!

                I Run Five Ks!   Well Wouldn't You?

                Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

                I Run Quite Fast, Or So They Say!

                My Mom Says Father Joe's 'The Man'

                When San Diegans Need a Hand!

                So We Laced Up Our Running Shoes!

                Mom Huffed and Raced!   Me, I Just Cruised!

                Running Comes Easy When You're Young!

                I Could Say More!   I'll Bite My Tongue!

                Cause of the Money Our Run Earned,

                Father Joe Helped Thousands We Learned!

                So Maybe I'm Not Quite Perfect!
