Pamala the Monkey
My name is Pamela, but many call me Pam.
Throughout the zoo, there is no bigger ham.
I love to rassel, swing, and play, and watch the children file by;
But my glory-time does come when my trainer works to try
To teach me new and different tricks, like walking the tight rope,
Or pushing a doll carriage down a long and winding slope.
Of course I’d rather hop right in and putt ’round in my car,
Or play on my piano, (in this I should be far.)
I dearly love to hug and kiss little children near my size,
But when I’m out around the zoo, so many question, “It is wise?”
Never mind, I still have fun, I hop and skip, and jump and run.
