Anyone know Jennifer's Mother Goose rhyme from Holly's bedtime story?

Does anyone remember the Mother Goose rhyme with Jennifer? There was an episode where Holly was reading a bedtime story to Iggy, Jacob and Gloria about a girl named Jennifer who loved nursery rhymes and wanted to have one about her. She dreams of meeting Mother Goose who gives her a rhyme that she has to memorize so that it would become her own. When she wakes up, she asks her Dad to get a piece of paper and write down her poem before she forgets it. This is all I can remember: "Jennifer, Jennifer, coffee and tea. Jennifer, Jennifer, oh where can she be? She's not here with you. She's not here with me. Jennifer, Jennifer, oh where can she be?" Does anybody remember the rest?

The complete rhyme is:

Jennifer, Jennifer, coffee and tea
Jennifer, Jennifer, where can she be?
She isn't with you, and she isn't with me
Jennifer, Jennifer, where can she be?

Jennifer, Jennifer, needle and pin
Jennifer, Jennifer, where has she been?
She hasn't gone out and she hasn't come in
Jennifer, Jennifer, where has she been?

Jennifer, Jennifer, tractor and plow
Jennifer, Jennifer, where is she now?
She's not riding the horse, she's not milking the cow
Jennifer, Jennifer, where is she now?

Jennifer, Jennifer, coffee and tea
Jennifer, Jennifer, where can she be?
She isn't with you, and she isn't with me
Jennifer, Jennifer, where can she be?

That was it. Thanks. Do you remember what that episode was about? I think there might have been more besides the bedtime story.

It's so long ago, but I don't think there was much more to it. I think it was one of those few "I've just written a new story and before I send it to my publisher would you like to hear it?" episodes. Like the fairy tale with the kid who wore the colander on his head (which is about all I remember from that one).

I actually just stumpled apon this eppisode while going through some old vhs tapes. its the 2nd half of the eppisode where holly moves in w/ them. she comes home to find the 3 of them in her bed waiting to hear a bedtime story, so she reads them the story she just finished writing that happens to be in her hand.
I forgot how awesome this show is!
