    This has an adult "Dick and Jane" book vibe and cadence to it. "M" seems to be a popular letter. Now I must decide...should I go ahead with my M-Tautogram? Hmmmm

    Heck, I'd be moping, too! 🤣 Well done, Paul!

    Awww, I'm sad the monkey is mopey but what a wonderful job using all of those words in such a unique way!!! And I loved the line that "monkey means monkey" that repeated throughout. Lovely :)
