To see the things the monkeys do

And as she went to pat the llama
He up and spit upon my Grandma!

She pulled a tissue from her purse
And then things went from bad to worse

I really, surely, truly tried
To keep that tiny noise inside

But out it came, that hearty laugh
And who should hear, but a giraffe!

Oh, how he tried to hide that smirk
But don't you know? It didn't work!

Well, he was howling, just like me,
And so the monkeys came to see

Their merriment caused such a riot
There was no way to keep them quiet

They were having so much fun
The elephant thought he should come

The chimps, they choked

The gators giggled

The jaguars joked

The skunks, they sniggled

The rhinos roared

The songbirds soared

They laughed away

To Gran's dismay

She shook her fist, and called us daft,

And finally,

My Grandma LAUGHED.

Auntie Jana,
I like playing soccer. I like playing soccer even more. I like playing soccer even more and more and more. I love horsey-ees. I like numbers. I like all the horseys together. I really like your story.
