Brynn's poem for Erik

(Andree here) Our sister Brynn asked me to post this, and I know you'll enjoy it. Totally Brynn and totally Erik, and that means good stuff. Smile and cheer at

How I See Erik P.

I like that
you let your kids swear
I do too
Because I don't care

I like how
You laugh at strife
What a great way
To live your life

Thanks for the pep talks
And saying I'm good
Even though I'm always broke
You understood

Thank you for laughing
When my kids are rotten
That's a great quality
Some folks have forgotten

I see a kind soul
In a Viking shell
Who's in the shit
And doesn't feel so well

I see a kid
Who moves too fast
But...I see a kid
Who's built to last

So, take time Erik
and climb this rut
Get that rock salt
Out of your gut

Because...as Jemma said to me...
While writing her own poetry
Without Uncle Erik mooning us all
The world's a boring place to be
