Monkey Town

Meet Mr. Grin!

This is Mr. Grin and he's the newest sock monkey to move into Monkey Town!  In fact, he's been here a whole week!

Mr. Grin is the official Monkey Town poet.  He's been working real hard on his haiku:

• Sock, needle, thread and button
• Loving hands made me
• Mess me up and I'll bite you

Yeah, right - with his yarn teeth!

More Haiku from Mr. Grin

Mr. Grin says he's inspired by The Beast and worm incident and must create art.

• Green, sticky, slimy worm guts
• Dangling in two parts
• The Beast grosses me out

See you next time!

That's a nice one, Mr. Grin!

An inspiration to us all!  Thanks Mr. Grin!

More Mr. Grin Haiku

Everyone in Monkey Town is agog over Mick the Magnifico's trick!

• The once-fluffy Beast
• Now of sawdust and buttons
• Wait 'till The Lady finds out!

Actually, I'd worry more about The Man.

Haiku by Mr. Grin

Mr. Grin's been wondering where sock monkeys come from.  Here he presents his latest work "Sock Dreams."

• Sock waits, wondering
• Will I become a monkey
• or wind up on stinky feet?

I think everyone can take something away from that haiku.  Thanks Mr. Grin!

The Lady is a Maid

Mr. Grin has another haiku for us.  He's bursting with artistic genius!

• Dust bunnies, spider
• a mountain of magazines
• The Lady needs to clean

That's not very nice!  Musty
