He didn’t want to put on shoes. He didn’t want a sweater. He didn’t want to read a book. He didn’t like the weather.
He didn’t want to go outside. He didn’t want to play.
He didn’t want to take a walk. He didn’t want to stay.
He didn’t want to sit on lap. He didn’t want his chair. He didn’t want to play with blocks. He didn’t want his bear.
He never liked this yogurt. He never liked bananas. He never even wore this shirt. He hated these pajamas.
He didn’t want to take a bath. He hated Yellow Ducky. He didn’t want to wash his hands. The shampoo smelled yucky.
He didn’t like his bedroom. He didn’t like this bed.
He didn’t like this towel. The brush bothered his head.
A Cranky Monkey day to be
In Mama’s arms instead.

Oh boy, I remember those days. If I cut a sandwich into squares it was wrong because it had to be triangles.
