Three Wise Monkeys

"No evil I'll see", said the monkey wise

If I place my paws right over my eyes;"

No evil I'll hear", said his brother grave

A paw for each ear will my hearing save. "

No evil I'll speak," said the third in the row

For the tongue is the source of much trouble, you know;

And the holding of mine

Makes one element less

In the sum of human

Unhappiness. "
