theme song for my planeteers

The little boy in kindergarten says he's going to write down the lyrics to a song so I can sing while he strums. He laboriously writes on my pink sticky notes:

a s h
M e i u b
(a symbol that looks like a cross between a lollipop and a tree) o e r i
o L o h o.

"That's the end of song," he informs me as he dots the period.

On another sticky, it is:

s s W L l o
o (upside down V) e e r
e r o r

Is this the second verse? Another song? I don't know.

"Now you can sing," he says as he takes up the guitar (which is, by the way, bigger than him).

"Oh! Can you go over the lyrics with me?" What if I get this wrong, right?

He sighs, like I'm hopeless, then proceeds to belt out:

Rock me daddy, like a wagon wheel
Rock me brother, any way you feel
Rock me sister, like a wagon wheel....

His spin on Old Crow -- brilliant!

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
