Two Friends

Chris Hall74 Comments


Monkey was always a little friend
but he only lived on the couch

Monkey liked to play with his people
but often he was alone

Monkey could look out to see what’s happening
but he had nothing to say

But one day he has a new friend
and he certainly looks familiar…

He used to live in Darkest Peru
but now he’s called Paddington

Monkey and Paddington talk all day
and sometimes they get into mischief!

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows two stuffed toys sitting on a cushion. The monkey on one side has its arm around the other stuffed toy that appears to be a hybrid between a bear and a penguin. (you can imagine your own combination)

  7. Who doesn’t love Paddington and his monkey friend? We probably all have grown up with a favorite furry friend who brought comfort.
    What a gentle sweet way you wrote of these companions.

  10. Chris, a friendship made in heaven! I am imagining all the mischief the pair will get up to. A lovely light poem, celebrating friendship. The layout for it works really well and it’s fun to play around with that in poetry.
