- Monkey
Have you ever watched a monkey
Climbing up a tree?
He can reach the tip-most top-most
Before you count to three.
And those who try to catch him
Just haven't got a chance.
Off he goes like a man in space,
A monkey grin on his monkey face,
Legs and tail all over the place
And lands on another branch.
A cow may moo and a bee may buzz
But none can jump like a monkey does!
Herbert Kretzmer
- 猴子
(肥子宝粗翻)
你可曾看过猴子爬树?
还不等你数到三秒,它就到了最高处。
谁若要抓得得猴子归,那是难于登天。
它跳跃出发,宛如人类翱翔太空,
它猴脸一展,咧嘴露出开心笑颜,
四支猴腿伸开来,一根长尾自由摆,稳稳落下,身在别枝。
奶牛哞哞叫,蜜蜂嗡嗡唱,可若说谁最会跳,非猴子莫属!
