Bongo the monkey lives in a tree
The happiest monkey you’ll ever see
In his spare time he plays the guitar
One of these days he will be a big star!

MY BONGO

my main bongo is my childhood beanie. he's seen a LOT of love and rough and tumbles, from being a beanbag to catch in the playground to doodling on him in exams. he was one of only two beanies i kept from my original collection :)
