Welcome, Olivia Roo

A grandma's thoughts upon waking, tapped into an iPhone in snoozystate

Tigger and Pooh and Olivia Roo
Got up this morning to go to the zoo.
Ate oatmeal and pickles and a bottle of pop
And rode to the zoo on a big flying mop!
It was sunny and bright as they saw the rhinoceros
And the anteater too...but she was prepocerous!
They hopped up to slide down an elephant's ear
And then told the monkeys "it's perfectly clear:
If you smile beguile and giggle each day,
You'll find that in life, your work is your play.
"Then the three scampered off to hop with the rabbits
And fly with the birds and explore some new habits.
You know if you learn and you grow and you do
And explore all new things then your life is a zoo
'cause it's all filled with color, surprises and wonder,
And with love and with joy slightly peppered with thunder
Don't forget to love music and theater and poems
And the pleasures of snuggling in deep in our homes.
And with that Tigger, Poo and Olivia Roo
Remembered it was time to head back from the zoo.
Called,"Hey Mommy! Hey Daddy!" And "Yo! to my Birdie"
"I'll be back in my dreams in my bed by 8:30!"
So they clapped and they conjured a bright flying carpet
And on the way home stopped off at the market
To get beets and a cabbage and an acre of kale
And ten gallons of ice cream (cause it was on sale).
They took it all home and with Ali and Ben
Feasted and laughed, together again.

With love to Livy - from Birdie!
