Reid and Graham
Oh, here are two
brothers their names Reid and Graham,
They liked to eat
syrup and pancakes and ham,
They never ate
peanuts or nuts from a tree,
For Reid would
expire from a nut allergy.
So Graham kept
Reid safe as they walked through the land,
They walked over
water, and mountain, and sand,
They walked over
riggles, and ruggles, and ruts,
In search of a
land with no peanuts or nuts.
And, finally found
a great mountainous place,
Now, Reid with a
smile a great smile on his face,
There is wheat,
there is cheese, and meat just for me,
But, no nuts can
be found for my nut allergy!
So brother to
brother they took tools in hand,
And, Graham quite
the builder he fashioned and planned,
With Reid his fine
brother they built a fine home,
They built a fine
home with an emerald dome.
Oh, many would
come as they lived out their life,
Each brother in
time took a beautiful wife,
Now all would be
careful to not eat a nut,
In home, or in
heather, in hotel or hut.
Quite nutless they
lived on the mountainous sphere,
With their sleds
and their sleighs and their skies ever dear,
“Oh, please share
a breakfast of eggs, toast, and ham”,
And, Reid said,
“Delighted, my big brother, Graham.”
