The Mischievous Monkey

There once was a mischievous monkey,
Who always found ways to be funky,
He'd steal all the fruit,
And he'd play the lute,
But his antics were really quite chunky.

This limerick describes a mischievous monkey and his playful ways.

The first two lines introduce the monkey’s mischievous nature, while the third and fourth lines describe some of his favorite activities.

The last line uses the word “chunky” to humorously emphasize the awkwardness or clumsiness of the monkey’s behavior.
