There was a Little Mouse who Lived on a Hill
This project really meant a lot to me. Sad to say I don't or should say didn't make a lot of things for my dad, but this was for him. This Nursery Rhyme my father use to sing to me and my brothers when we were small. I don't know where he picked it up from but he has been singing this for over thirty some years. He now sings this to my kids and niece and nephews. I couldn't remember the words since he hasn't sung it to me in um 25+ years so I googled it. Wow ! if I thought I new the rhyme I didn't after my google search. I really didn't think I would find it. I guess I thought he made it up or something. Come to find out many other children in this world had a dad that sang this song to them. Some learned at camp and other places along the way. But it was so many different versions out there I was getting confused. So I went to the second best source.... my kids. The have heard it the most recent. But the two of them couldn't agree. So I went straight to my father. Trying not to make it obvious. This was his birthday gift. I guess after the years he was getting confused too. So I went with my best memory and the kids. This was my first Imagine project. but is actually a hybrid of Imagine and Expression. He loved it but wasn't completely surprised since I asked him how the song went.
Here is my version
