Barrel of Monkeys: Genesis in Reverse: More Versions

BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse

I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.

As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........

Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......

Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......

How did I get here from there?

Picking up the roses, picking up the roses, Atishoo!, Atishoo! We all jump up.
	Picking up the daises, picking up the daises, Atishoo!, Atishoo! We all jump up.
Ashes in the water, Ashes in the sea, We all jump up With a one-two-three.
	The King has sent his daughter, To fetch a pail of water. ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo. We all fall down.
The bird up on the steeple, Sits high above the people. ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo. We all fall down.
	The cows are in the meadow, Eating buttercups, ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo. they all jump up.
Fishes in the water, Fishes in the sea, We all jump up, With a one, two, three!
	Down at the bottom of the deep blue sea, How many fishes can you see, With a one, a two, a three!
Sitting at the bottom of the deep blue sea, Catching fishes, for my tea! We all jump up, With a one, two, three!
