1. There once was a little old woman,
who lived with a little old man.
In the
morning she made eggs and BACON,
in her cast iron black frying pan.
Smiling
they sat at the table,
as they gazed into each other’s eyes.
They
found daily pleasure in giving
one another a pleasant surprise.
2. After
breakfast the old man would sit down
with the newspaper comfortably,
while
his wife began rinsing the dishes,
before putting them neatly away.
Later
they worked in their GARDEN
side by side with the sun shining down.
side by side with the sun shining down.
Their nutritious
vegetables grew right near
lovely flowers that bloomed all around.
3. At
noon the old woman prepared lunch
while her husband put their tools away.
After
they finished their meal,
in the house for a while they would stay.
The
old man would work on his HOBBIES,
while his wife sewed or straightened the house.
They pleasantly
enjoyed their whole pastime,
each as quiet as a little mouse.
4. Then after resting or reading,
it was time to make dinner for two.
The
wife’s tasty meals were so wholesome,
but their favorite was hearty beef STEW.
Dinnertime
was always cozy,
with a warmth that could not be surpassed.
After
his wife cleaned the kitchen,
on the couch the old man took a nap.
5. The
coziest time then was sitting,
in the parlor in front of the FIRE.
Reading
or chatting they rested,
while they lounged in more comfortable attire.
The
old couple calmly reflected,
desiring to the world they might give
A
quiet and peaceful example,
of the contented life that they lived.
