RANDMA'S
BUSTLE OVEN
My Grandma's Bustle Oven
Protruded Out in Back
But It Sure Bake Good Muffins
Bread, Cake, and Gingersnaps.
It took Three Hours To Heat It
Each Brick Must Be Hot Thru.
All the Children Like To Come
They Got A Taste Of Something New.
Along The Side there Always Was
A fireplace For Cooking Food.
The crowds Who Came to Grandma's
Were Always In An Eating Mood.
Whether It Was Rainy Or Shiny
It was the Best Place to Be,
Near Grandma's Bustle Oven
And the Food She Served To Me.
