ANA GRAMMATICA

Ana Grammatica’s a Schoolteacher Mouse
She loves to have Children all over the House
She’s got lots of Neighbors right near her Farmhouse
While out in the Barn live an Owl and a Grouse
A Dormouse and a Field Mouse pitch right in her Wheelhouse
Ana Grammatica and her sister Numerica
Bought a tiny house so they could Travel America
With Erica, Clerica, and all the Grammatica

Eponymous Pony and Boney Maroney
Picked up a slab of some yummy Baloney
There were Sheep in the Meadow Jumping over the fence
Dramatica Living in cool Present Tense
It’s easy to Dream and remember your Dreams
Even when nothing is just what it seems
You can find something somewhere right there in between
Your plate of Spaghetti and your dish of Ice Cream

Off to the Derry and down in the Dell
We’ll Sing and we’ll Dance by the old Wishing Well
We’ll jump up and down while we’re ringing the bell
Way up in the Tower o’ the Church on the Hill
We're tumbling down it like Jack and like Jill
Grandma Destino and Grandpa Grammatica
Had a sweet puppy that lived in the Attic
He’d wag his tail and go jump on his pillow
His Bud was none other than an Armadillo

His BFF was a bright, Gold Chinchilla
Say, can you hear the cool Wind in the Willows
Dancing with Fillies and a Clown name o’ Ringo
Here, all the Buzzybees don't have any stingers
Bravo the Horse on the Racecourse, of course
Then he naps until Nighttime right under the Porch
Erector sets with Directors named Rex
He’s got a Jet Ski, you’ll get wet when it jets
Grammatica’s Barnyard is a cartoon Set
You’re playing a part that I sure won’t forget

To Market, to Market, in the old Village Square
Lots of kids dancing in their underwear
Things that we did, we did just over there
Play Hide ‘n Seek right down under the Stairs

Everyone runs while you count back from 10
They’ll circle around, then they come back again
If you can’t find them, they give you a treat
Candied pineapples for a sweet, tasty treat
Later, we all watch the Sun going down
Come to the Water, come down to the Wharf
Where all of the Kiddos are learning to Surf
It can’t get much better, and it never gets worse

Let’s all lie down and dig into the Earth
Right back behind the old Heavenstone Church
When you come
around Grandma’s baking a pie
It’s just so yummy, it rings tears to my eyes
A big veggie salad and a warm side of fries
Ana Grammatica now closes her eyes
What can we say when we all say good night
We get down to Pray, then we turn out the light

Tomorrow is Sunday, so it will be all right
If you want to stay with us all overnight
We’ll walk to the church, we’ll fish for some Perch
At the barbecue, everyone gives till it hurts
We’ll all be together for better or worse
We see all the Stars and the whole Universe
Good night for now and may God keep you safe
May blessings abound right beside Heaven’s Gate

Just hang around, and you won’t have to wait
When the Lord comes around, you don’t want to be late
It's an invitation, so don't break the date
A Grand Celebration of Heaven Can Wait
