Acknowledgments
I would like to offer my warmest thanks to my two most valuable collaborators,
Antoinette Conejero Llopart and Noëlle Jongit, without whom this book would
never have seen the light of day.
Thanks as well to Josette Mort for her dedicated and fastidious work.
Special thanks to the Curie Institute in Paris, which was the first to give a
favorable reception to our research by accepting the fact that foot reflexology
holds an essential place among all the disciplines offering support to its patients.
And finally, for the similar welcome they gave me to their institutions of
health care and research, thanks to the following: Dr. Gwen Wyatt of Michigan
State University Mr. David Oliver of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth,
Australia Mrs. Kim Krusten of Sydney Adventist Hospital in Sydney, Australia
Mrs. Eyglo Benediktsdottir of the Landspitali University Hospital in Reykjavik,
Iceland

MONKEY BUSINESS
My papa is tall
He wears a mustache
My mama is pretty
She has large eyelashes
of sky blue.
My buddy is Lulu
My best friend is Delphine
She is sweet through and through
Her cheeks are full of
Honey!
When I get bigger
And I own some boots
I will jump in the puddles
And walk in lion’s
Poop!
Papa will give me his look,
He will stare right at me,
Right straight into my little eyes
While mama will make little shrieks
Like a mouse!
And when they’re not around
Me and my buddy Lulu
And her little sister Denise
We can get into all the monkey business
we want!
We can give the dog a haircut
Boil soap
Stick the cat in the piano
And play la Marseillaise
In a round
Paint over the cooking pots
Take apart the alarm clock
Then we’ll mend the sandwiches
*1
With giraffe nails
So look out!
Now we’re gonna go hide
It’s your turn to be it
No peeking allowed!
I’m flying away.
