Furry Brown Nuts
Not what you think
It wasn’t the first time
That Sarah had to climb
The leaning coconut palm
To make some cooling electrolyte balm
For her red hot sunburn
Because she never did learn
Not to fall asleep in the sun
After a cocktail and too much fun
But as she reached the three ripe nuts
She dislodged them with three swift cuts
And as they thumped onto the warm sand
They were quickly snatched up by nimble hands
Three little laughing monkeys stole the prize
And their cheekiness they did not disguise
Sarah was beyond disbelief
As she scolded each coconut thief
But one monkey returned to give back its loot
Which made Sarah smile and share
Her furry brown nut
😁
Note: A coconut is actually a type of fruit, not a nut.
