Pop Goes the Weasel

For some reason, Mikey doesn't like my singing. He loves music - opera, symphony, Thistle and Shamrock are his favorites. My voice isn't recording quality, but I can usually keep a tune. But when I start to sing, Mikey will shake his finger at me and yell, "NO THANK YOU!!!"

So today I was singing,
"All around the cobbler's bench,
"The monkey chased the weasel..."
when he tried to stop me. I did not comply, and then he did the most extraordinary thing - he started moving my arm. I figured it out when he said, "Jack in the Box."

So I crouched down while he pumped my arm, and continued:
"The monkey thought 'twas a-all in fun.
"POP! [big jump inserted here] goes the weasel!"

He let me repeat it with his being the Jack, too!! :-)
