I Went to the Animal Fair

Tonight Erik was especially needy as I rocked him. He wanted extra stories and extra songs...lots of them. I was almost out of ideas when I remembered dad's favorite. I went to the Animal Fair....(then he'd change the words to whoever he was singing about)Erik Willman was there. The old raccoon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair. The funniest was the monk. He fell on the elephant's trunk. The elephant sneezed and feel on his knees and what became of the monk, the monk, the monk. It was a great memory but it really made me miss my dad. Erik said, "Mommy, why are you crying. The animals are at a fair." "I know Erik. I just miss Grandpa Myles."
