Over and Over Over the river and through the wood I cooked as good a pie I could To grandmothers house they came in droves To see what’s cooking on my stove The horse knew the way to carry the sleigh To grandmother’s house to get some hay Through the white and drifted snow he danced And into grandmother’s house they pranced Over the river and through the wood I cooked the turkey like I should Oh how the wind did blow and chill But they still came to get their fill It stings the toes and bites the nose While turkey roasted, Trigger froze Hurrah for the food!, Hurrah for the fun! The puddin’s hot, and Grandma’s done Over the river to home they sped And Grandma dropped right into bed While visions of sugarplums danced in her head And dozens of cookies for them to be fed They’re all a’cheerin for Christmas is near And back to Grandmother’s house this year But Grandmother went on down the street To somebody else’s house to eat So back through the woods, the bridge they crossed over Now somebody else has got to take over The task was to great to make all that fun Now seven are doing the work of just one Grandma |

Enjoyed this very much. I offered to buy turkey and ham if someone, anyone, would do the cooking this year. |

Elizabeth, this was so lovely, I really enjoyed it. Summon the courage to step out of your familiar rut and suddenly many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power to do so. |
