Really, I'm not going to turn into a writer of children's songs. Promise. But indulge me this week!
I've been reading Sarah poems from A.A. Milne's charming "When We Were Very Young" collection. Fun stuff. Even though she doesn't get the words, she seems to like the sound of them. One day last week, I started singsonging a little melody to "Lines and Squares" instead of just reading the poem. This went over well with Sarah, and Marg liked it too. Then it got stuck in my head, and so I had to record it for y'all.

You silly boy.

No no. Not silly. If he were a silly, the bears would have gotten him before he finished the song.
I had a dream last night where I was at a friend's house for a dinner party and a polar bear wandered in and we were all held hostage because we couldn't get out past it and we spent the entire dream trying to not look like food.
It may be partly from this song, and partly because I just finished Dan Simmons' 'The Terror'.
