Dear Mr.Munsch,
I sent you a letter already in class yesterday.
Can you write a poem about monkeys for me pleeeeeeeease!!!!!!!! Okay, I think you know now that I'm weird. We are studying you in school.
THAT WAS THE GOOD PART! THIS IS THE BAD PART.
I am sick with STREP THROAT! THAT IS THE HORRIBLE PART.
I've also had pnumonia 3 times. STREP THROAT at least 13 times. And chicken pox 1.
It's bad stuff to deal with.
I need a monkey
That costs a lot of money,
And one that is not junkey,
One that’s a honey!
CAUSE
This, you see, is not for fun.
I really have to get me one;
Cause Monkeys are a lot like me,
As much as animals can be.
AND
Since I do get sick a lot
This is what I went and thought:
I’ll take monkey germs for me,
And give my germs
To the monkey!
So this, I think, will be quite swell
Cause then I think we’ll both be well.
BUT
Of course, I might be wrong;
But I’ve wanted a monkey all along!
So let’s just give it a try,
AND
I’ll even be happy if I die.
