Over the river and through the woods,
To Grandmother’s house we go;
At the airport on time, which is good cause the lines
Are moving super slow.
Over the river and through the screens
Then stuck at security
I’ve been patted down and thrown to the ground
Due to my lithium battery.
Over the river and through the woods

Over the river at Hudson News
Flipping through the magazines

To Grandmother’s house we wait
The flight is delayed, our nerves are all frayed
As we taxi around the gate.
Over the river and very hungry now
The food cart scuttles past.
How incredibly rude that the smell of food
Only wafts in from first class.
Over the river and through the woods
My family’s in four different rows
My seatmate smells vile, and he puked in the aisle
Then I watched him clip his toes.
