I have Schweetheart the monkey and in the poem it reads “Of all the jungles filled with vines Traveling about, you come to mine Because of all the things you said I can’t seem to get you outta my head!”
Shouldn’t “mind” be used instead of “mine”?
No, the poem is referring to all the jungles in the world and you’ve come to my jungle.
“Of all the jungles filled with vines, traveling about you come to mine.”
No, it is supposed to be MINE! It is a play on words from the movie “Casablanca”. Spoken by Humphrey Bogart ““Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
I cannot seem to find this one. It’s not on the lists here 🙁

Since its referring to the jungle, it should say mine… his jungle..
