I crossed the stream
And began my dream
I lived off the land
Didn’t need a helping hand
I built a cabin made of logs
Hunted rabbits and wild hogs
I caught trout
The fish were all about
I invited my sister Vi to be with me
Our home was warm and cozy
We drank hot chocolate and tea
We were footloose and fancy-free
We laughed and played all-day
We were never in dismay
We read books and chatted
Sometimes my hair was matted
Vi cooked us wonderful food
It always improved my mood
We played cards and many a board game
They were never lame
We slumbered peacefully
My sister and I, together eternally
