where the green grass grows,&lt;br&gt;
lived families of mynas&lt;br&gt;
their nest in rows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They were friends and foes&lt;br&gt;
who played and fought for fun.&lt;br&gt;
But when it came to the enemy&lt;br&gt;
they stood together as one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One morning they were surprised&lt;br&gt;
a strange creature there to find.&lt;br&gt;
Loud, noisy with strange scary ways&lt;br&gt;
a being like that&amp;hellip;seemed a ferocious kind.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Naughty Baby Monkey</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/poems-for-kids/the-naughty-baby-monkey/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2001 08:54:14 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/poems-for-kids/the-naughty-baby-monkey/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A mama and a baby monkey&lt;br&gt;
Lived high up on a mango tree&lt;br&gt;
The mama was kind&lt;br&gt;
But the baby&amp;rsquo;s mind..&lt;br&gt;
Dear! Oh Dear!&lt;br&gt;
Oh! Dear, Dear Me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One bright sunny day&lt;br&gt;
The baby monkey ran away.&lt;br&gt;
The mama despaired&lt;br&gt;
Scratched all her hair&lt;br&gt;
Dear! Oh Dear!&lt;br&gt;
Oh! Dear, Dear Me&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mama searched the forest through&lt;br&gt;
Everywhere for baby Babloo.&lt;br&gt;
Near the forest edge,&lt;br&gt;
Where grew a berry hedge,&lt;br&gt;
Dear! Oh Dear!&lt;br&gt;
Oh! Dear, Dear Me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
