a happy ending...

these two found me one week apart in my local thrift store,

both waiting on the shelves of despair,

both in need.

Mr Monkey needed a new nose

Mrs Monkey needed a pair of new ears

and

they both needed love

nearly a year on,

i am delighted to report their love is still going strong.

however unbeknownst to me they had secretly wished to be parents

so when a little baby monkey found me today

whilst 'a pottling' around the thrift store,

their little secret wish came true

after a new pair of ears

i stood back to admire the family.

i noted how they looked made for each other

and how interestingly of all,

little baby wooden monkey's ears were

the color as his mothers

but the shape of his fathers

she now has 'we are family' and 'reunited' going round and around in her head ~ Tif
