The monkey showman
Came he
With a pair of
Two rhesus
Red-mouthed
Small monkeys,
The female was
In a torn frock
And the male
He started
To ready him
As for the marriage,
Powdering him
With the dust,
Combing and dressing.
Making him see
The mirror
And he playing the damru
And singing,
The groom going
To the bride's house
As for the marriage,
Rounding and rounding
The monkeyman
Into whose hands
The rope is
And playing the damru
With a slinging tied thread
To beat the leather.
